About The Lesbian Community Cancer Project LCCP sponsors free clinics on the north and south side of Chicago, and soon will open a clinic on the west side. Founded in 1990, LCCP is committed to increasing the availability and quality of women's health care in the Midwest and influencing health-care policy on the local, state and national levels. LCCP's advocacy programs include outreach to under-served populations, prevention and detection education, and sensitivity training for medical professionals. LCCP serves some 300 women annually through its clinics and touches thousands with its outreach efforts. It operates out of an office on the north side Chicago, and is run by a small staff of professionals, guided by a board of directors and made possible by a cadre of volunteers.
Funding comes from public and private sources, and includes financial and in-kind donations.
