About the National Ovarian Cancer Coalition
| The National Ovarian Cancer Coalition (NOCC) is a non-profit organization founded by Gail Hayward of Boca Raton, Florida. Diagnosed with ovarian cancer more than 10 years ago, Gail dedicated her life to the mission of the NOCC: to raise awareness about ovarian cancer and to promote education about this disease. By dispelling myths and misunderstandings, the Coalition is committed to improving the overall survival rate and quality of life from ovarian cancer. The NOCC is a membership organization with members across the country. Currently there are 47 NOCC volunteer Divisions. | |
