Ways to Give
UNDERWRITE OUR PATIENT RESOURCES BINDERPatient Resources Binder
Our Patient Resources Binder give patients a tool to keep track of confidential documents and provide resources to give a sense of commonality as they work with their medical team.
These notebooks bring organization for a patient’s medical records, estate document such as Power of Attorney copies & Healthcare Directives, provide a DVD holder for CT and MRI scans, and contain tabs for each physician of their medical management team (PCP, Surgeon, Oncologist and Radiologist).
They also contain information about other resources that address financial planning during the cancer journey, as well as other documents that may educate a patient on services provided by local resource organizations within their community.
The Patient Resource Notebook was developed over several years by our team of cancer care specialists in order to help patients thrive during their active cancer treatment.
In this episode of Focusing On You, Lisa will get you started with the notebook and share several helpful tips for getting the most out of it.

UNDERWRITE daily needs & medical billsGas Cards, Groceries, Daily Needs & Medical Bills
The need for gasoline is critical. When cancer strikes, patients, their families and caregivers are on the road constantly, getting to a myriad of doctor appointments, the grocery store and drug store, as well as public and private agencies.
Clothing needs change. As the patient deals with the reality of changing conditions almost daily, clothing needs change as well.
Daily Needs increase. Household expenses, car payments, insurance payments, mortgage and rent is a constant concern for most families.
Medical Bills. A cancer diagnosis can wreak havoc on the cost of medical services. Help is always needed in this area.
