The Oncology Patient Assistance Fund provides $250 gift cards to oncology patients who, in addition to worrying about their health, are also dealing with the costs of basic essentials like gas and groceries. It also provides housing and utilities assistance, ensuring more people with cancer can remain in their home with the lights on. Since the start of this amazing program, more than 6,000 of our neighbors have received help from the Oncology Patient Assistance Fund. It helps take their minds off the bills... and focus on healing.
Community Health Network MD Anderson Cancer Center is on a journey to leverage the world-renowned protocols and clinical expertise of the nation’s top cancer center. Our work to create a regional research institute to inclusively serve cancer patients who are willing to participate in research in a community setting has begun. Why? Because research is a critical tool of the most successful, impactful oncology programs; it seeks cures, of course, but also advances prevention, detection, diagnosis, and treatment.
Our research is already started with an existing clinical trial program and a number of select phase 1 clinical trials underway. Because research is about more than cure, we need your help to do more. Community’s unique approach to investigating cancer is rooted in our storied history of improving health and wellness for everyone in the communities we serve, reducing the punishing human and economic costs of cancer. Donor support will advance innovative cancer care right here in Indiana by providing the resources needed to create the space and recruit, train, and retain the team of expert caregivers and physicians a world-class institute requires, bringing patients hope faster than ever before.
Medical Director for Clinical Research Dr. Bert O’Neil discusses his team’s efforts to expand clinical trials for patients at Community Health Network MD Anderson Cancer Center and how donors can provide support to patients in treatment.
Often referred to as bone marrow transplant, Stem Cell Transplant (SCT) is a crucial option for cancer patients facing life-threatening side effects from treatment or immune deficiencies. Most forms of cancer treatment return patients to their normal living environments as soon as possible, and the Oncology Patient Assistance Fund can meet needs under those circumstances. In contrast, SCT is an extremely expensive treatment that entails a complex 90-to-100-day journey that requires keeping vulnerable, immune suppressed patients in the hospital for 2 to 4 weeks at a time. To qualify, patients must meet medical criteria but also a variety of additional parameters related to their personal and situational supports.
Your support can seed the essential services that patients need for the long SCT journey.
Starting with hospitalization, the psychological side effects of long inpatients stays with limitations on numbers and frequencies of visitors are punishing. Patients need access to communication technology, viewer subscriptions, games, art therapy, meditation services, and exercise equipment, all within their rooms, to maintain emotional well-being in a protective environment.
As treatment continues beyond hospitalization, the first and most critical need is housing. As a protection against immune compromise, housing should be no more than 60 minutes from the treatment site for several weeks. For some, this will mean temporary quarters that will need to be free or very low cost. For others able to seek outpatient treatment from home, their living environment may need assessed to minimize risk.
Finally, SCT’s unique, acute clinical and psychosocial needs extend beyond the inpatient stay and housing to the transportation costs for all the regular (cancer) and extra (SCT) care appointments, healthy foods, additional childcare, mental healthcare, adaptive clothing, and so much more.
Medical Director of Stem Cell Transplant and Cellular Therapy Dr. Sherif Farag discusses his background in the field and how donors can help to provide relief to patients.
All donations benefit initiatives at Community Health Network MD Anderson Cancer Center in Indiana and do not fund research or programs at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston.
