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.
