We recently conducted an employee campaign with our friends at Highland's Oncology Group, and are thrilled to report that our efforts surpassed our goal! The generous staff there have pledged to give over $21,000 in the coming year to HOPE!! Wow!
Thank you Highland's staff ~ for supporting us every day in the clinics, and for supporting us through 2009 with your wonderful donations!!!
Because of your gifts, we will be able to help hundreds more patients this year!
This wonderful outpouring of support from the Highland's staff underscores the need for more
collaborative work in the field of cancer care. HOPE was created by a group of Highland's physicians and former patients in 2001, and we partner with them to provide a range of services aimed at helping their patients successfully complete their treatments and focus on recovery. The research and the work done by dedicated medical personnel don't have the desired effect if the patients can't afford their prescriptions or fill up their gas tank to get to appointments, or if they are so overwhelmed with fear and depression that they can't follow the treatment plan.

Not only do we provide emergency financial assistance for patients who, as one of our patients put it, "can't afford to have cancer", but we also offer emotional support for those who are struggling to balance family, finances, work, and their diagnosis. Cancer can be overwhelming in the best of situations, but add one more challenge to the mix and, for many, it becomes an obstacle that seems unsurmountable.
Special thanks also goes out to the businesses that donated
prizes we drew for at the end of the week:
Something Urban
The Copper Pig
