“Neighbors Helping Neighbors”

In March of 2017, Cindy was diagnosed with breast cancer. She needed Chemotherapy and surgery. During this time, the company she worked for fired her, and had taken away her insurance. Cindy was offered COBRA Health Insurance, but was struggling to pay for it. Her oncological social worker recommended The Medical Needs Foundation. The Medical Needs Foundation helped Cindy pay her COBRA payments as well as her medical payments.  

The Medical Needs Foundation works directly with grant applicants and families to confirm the need, and to help evaluate other means of support. We often work with the providers to negotiate lower patient charges​. Since our inception, we have provided $2.5 million in grants, and have helped over 200 families and individuals.
