Komen Cares

A direct services program for breast cancer patients in the Tri-State area.

The Komen Cares direct services program helps to alleviate the non-medical financial burden that many breast cancer patients experience as they undergo cancer treatments.

A simple process will help determine if the patient qualifies for the program:

• A completed Komen application for assistance must be submitted by the Patient/Nurse Navigator or the patient.
• Patient must be receiving current treatment.
• Qualified patients will be contacted by a Komen representative in a timely manner to answer any questions and to determine the specific assistance needed. (transportation, grocery, or utility)
• Patients may be responsible for picking up gas and grocery cards at the Komen office.
• Utility payments will be made directly to the utility provider.
• Assistance is limited to $250/month for up to six nonconsecutive months.
