Julia Forth

Chief Executive Officer, Cancer Support Community Los Angeles

Julia joined Cancer Support Community Los Angeles and its predecessor entity, The Wellness Community-West Los Angeles over 25 years ago, and since 2014, has been leading the affiliate as its CEO. During her tenure, Julia served the organization in ever increasing levels of responsibility, including CSC’s Director of Marketing and prior to that as Director of Program Marketing, in which she oversaw the healthy lifestyle classes, education and social activities, three out of the five pillars of CSC psychosocial services. Julia worked closely with CSC’s founders, Dr. Harold and Harriet Benjamin in a variety of roles in development, administration, and outreach, and with Dr. Mitch Golant in the national office of the Cancer Support Community headquartered in Washington, D.C. Julia’s intimate working relationship with Drs. Benjamin and Golant was the ideal mentorship that gave her a deep understanding of CSC’s importance within the cancer health care industry.
