Cancer takes an enormous toll on patients, physically, emotionally—and financially. Saratoga Hospital has long provided support for patients who cannot afford items not covered by insurance. However, the number of patients in need keeps growing, and the cost of co-payments and deductibles keeps rising. At the same time, the schedule and side effects of rigorous treatments can affect – or altogether prevent – patients’ ability to earn income.

As a result, many patients are consumed with worry, not just about their health but also about the cost of their care. In response, Saratoga Hospital established the Cancer Patient Fund to provide increased support for patients and their families when it’s needed most. Examples include assistance with travel expenses to and from treatment, help with co-payments, and monthly support groups for patients, families, and caregivers.
