Vision

OCRA envisions a world without ovarian cancer and is working to achieve this through promoting awareness of risk factors and preventive measures, and by funding medical research to develop improved diagnostics, better treatments and ultimately a cure. OCRA believes every person is entitled to the best care available and actively works to identify and remedy health equity issues associated with ovarian cancer and other gynecologic cancers, and remove barriers through advocacy and targeted initiatives. OCRA also believes every person should have access to support services and offers programs to provide this for any type of gynecologic cancer, while promoting public awareness of these and other available resources.
