Major Activities

Activity 2

Medical Financial Aid Program Financial aid is granted to clients who are pursuing breast cancer treatment, beginning with lumpectomies or mastectomies, and need assistance paying for medical treatment and/or medical insurance. Forty percent of the programs funding goes toward paying for the clients medical insurance or their insurance extensions, COBRA Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act, or HIPAA Health Insurance Portability Accountability Act. The remaining funds pay for surgery, chemotherapy, diagnostic testing, laboratory fees, prescriptions, and/or co-payments for doctors not covered by the clients insurance. The organization will pay up to 10,000 for medical financial assistance for the treatment of breast cancer per the lifetime of the individual. The organization prides itself in operating with a high level of appropriateness in assessing patient needs, with a minimum of time and bureaucracy required working with the medical facilities. This progam served 13 clients in 2012.

Activity 3

CARE Program This program provides free tote bags filled with over-the-counter practical products during treatment, emotional pink-ribbon trinkets, and educational literature for individuals with breast cancer. CAP support bags are filled with products that are helpful to patients who are undergoing treatment. The bags are geared for each individual, depending upon their stage and current treatment program. Each bag is filled with a mixture of items that provide both emotional and physical support, such as inspirational cards and educational pamphlets, as well as creams, dental products, and caps that provide physical relief. Along with the bags, the organization provides personal support for those undergoing treatment, including answering questions from patients and their families, being a liaison at doctors consultations, and providing information about additional resources. This program averages 3.5 clients per week seeking emotional support.
