Northeast Regional Cancer Institute

The Northeast Regional Cancer Institute (NRCI) is a non-profit community-based organization dedicated to easing the burden of cancer in Northeast Pennsylvania. Founded in 1991, the Institute focuses on three primary areas: cancer surveillance, community and patient education, and support services. NRCI operates a regional population-based cancer registry that tracks incidence and mortality data to inform local health initiatives and research. Additionally, the organization provides patient navigation, facilitates screening programs, and offers various support resources for individuals and families affected by cancer. It serves as a collaborative hub for local healthcare providers and community partners to improve oncology outcomes in the region.
