LILT PALERMO

What LILT PALERMO does

LILT Palermo (legal name: Lega Italiana per la Lotta contro i Tumori – Associazione Provinciale di Palermo APS) is a non-profit association and the provincial Palermo chapter of the national Italian League for the Fight Against Cancer. Founded in 1922 and reorganized under new leadership in November 2019 (with Francesca Glorioso as President), the association's core mission is secondary cancer prevention through early diagnosis. It operates a network of specialized outpatient clinics in Palermo covering gynecology, dermatology, urology, pneumology, dietology and obesity prevention, and postural gymnastics. The organization also delivers health education and awareness campaigns, including childhood obesity prevention, and in October 2023 launched the TELE LILT telemedicine program for prostate cancer follow-up care, funded by the Chiesa Valdese 8x1000 program. Corporate wellness programs (Area Aziende) extend services to businesses, and fundraising is conducted through charity events (Pigiama Walk&Run), solidarity gifts, and donations.

The association is headquartered at Via Thaon de Revel 10, Palermo, after renovation works beginning in March 2022 following the December 2021 municipal eviction from its previous Palazzo Barone site at Via Lincoln 144. Operationally, LILT Palermo is structured with a Provincial Directive Council (President, Vice President, Medical Director, General Director, and five Consiglieri) supported by a small staff of approximately five employees, with service delivery heavily dependent on a network of contracted medical specialists, nutritionists, and volunteers. The technology layer is light: a WordPress website, social media presence on Facebook and Instagram, and a telemedicine platform for remote consultations; there is no proprietary AI, API, or mobile application layer.

Revenue is generated through a mix of recurring and episodic streams typical of Italian APS associations: annual individual membership fees (required to access free preventive services), voluntary donations from individuals and corporations, the 5x1000 income-tax designation, project-based grants from the Chiesa Valdese 8x1000 program (notably funding the Pneuma lung cancer screening project), customized corporate wellness contracts, and proceeds from fundraising events and solidarity gifts. Geographic operations are confined to Sicily, with no disclosed international footprint. No private equity, venture, or institutional investment is associated with the organization.
