About Us
The Ovarian Cancer Orange County Alliance (OCOCA),
formerly known as The Orange County Ovarian Cancer Coalition
was established in January 2003. We are a non-profit 501(c) (3)
corporation and a partner member of the Ovarian Cancer National
Alliance (OCNA) based in Washington D.C.
Who We Are
OCOCA is comprised of Ovarian Cancer survivors, friends and
family members who have been touched by Ovarian Cancer, and
medical and health care professionals. We truly understand what
hearing the words “You have Ovarian Cancer” means. We are an all
volunteer organization and serve as a non-profit advocacy group.
