“It allowed me to help keep my job; it allowed me the chance to possibly have a family in the future after all of my treatments are done ... to have that opportunity, you just can’t put a price on that.””

About Patient Assistance Funds at Huntsville Hospital Foundaion

HHF Patient Assistance Funds close the gap on health care equity for patients who are overwhelmed and under-resourced at diagnosis. We proudly help pay for food, medicines, rent, utilities, and transportation assistance for approximately 50 qualified patients every single month so they can focus on getting well. Patients like Reagan.

Reagan was diagnosed with aggressive breast cancer this February and had to undergo surgery just two weeks later. She is only 29 years old, an engineer with no remote work flexibility, and lives alone. Patient assistance funds enabled Reagan to pay her mortgage and keep her home, plus paid for gas as she traveled the hour to Huntsville almost every single day for treatment.

Because Reagan was able to keep her savings intact, she was then able to afford IVF egg retrieval and still have the potential for a family someday despite the hormone blocking medicine that was required through treatment.

Over the past year, donors like you enabled HHF to provide more than $215,000, enabling patients to focus on their cancer treatment, and reduce the stress of lost wages.
