IU Simon Cancer Center
“We’re very honored to be the recipient of cancer research funds that the Coach Hep Challenge generates,” says Stephen D. Williams, MD, Director of the IU Simon Cancer Center. Indiana University is a national leader in research for many cancers. “Linking Coach Hep’s name with ours is humbling and puts into perspective the urgent need for new and better treatments for cancer.”
Nearly 40,000 patients seek the world-class care at the IU Simon Cancer Center each year. Located in Indianapolis, this Hoosier organization is ranked among the best cancer treatment and research centers in the country.
The center has received recognition for a number of its cancer treatments including:
- Breast
- Genitourinary (reproductive and urinary systems)
- Hematological
- Gastrointestinal
- Bone marrow and stem cell transplants
- Major advances in treating cancer have been made through the research and clinical studies that take place at the IU Simon Cancer Center,
including the curative chemotherapy regimen for testicular cancer. Discovered by Lawrence H. Einhorn, MD, this therapy raised the
success rate of testicular cancer treatment from 10 percent to
95 percent! Seven-time Tour de France winner Lance Armstrong received this treatment in 1996.
In addition, the IU Simon Cancer Center works with Indiana State Department of Health and the American Cancer Society, Great Lakes Division to create a cancer control plan for Hoosiers.
Olcott Center for Cancer Education
Located in Bloomington, Indiana, the Olcott Center for Cancer Education helps cancer patients who have concerns, questions and other needs.
Services they provide patients include:
- One-on-one counseling with Oncology Certified Nurses

- Medical massage during treatment
The Olcott Center for Cancer Education also provides the community with educational programs and outreach efforts, including:
- Speakers

All of the services provided by the Olcott Center for Cancer Education are free. That means donations from caring individuals such as you are essential to support the center's programs.
