Getting the best care sometimes means cancer patients must travel away from home. This can place an extra emotional and financial burden on patients and caregivers during an already challenging time. The American Cancer Society is trying to make this difficult situation easier for both cancer patients and their families through our lodging programs.
The project fulfills this criterion by providing lodging programs to alleviate the burden for patients and caregivers who have to travel for treatment, which directly supports the health equity and patient lodging aspects of the ACS mission.
