Project Description:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Direct patient care through medical services to eligible cancer victims that do not have the financial resources or insurance coverage to obtain necessary treatment.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Services Provided/Benefit to State:

 

 

 

 

 

League Against Cancer will provide medical services to eligible cancer victims that do not have the financial resources or insurance coverage to obtain necessary treatment.  These services will be rendered by highly regarded local volunteer physicians and other medical providers at generously discounted rates offerd to the Leaugue.  Because of the network of medical providers associated with League Against Cancer, this care is available to many cancer patients who may otherwise find themselves with inadequate or no treatment for their illness.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Measurable Outcome Anticipated:

 

 

 

 

 

League Against Cancer anticipates to be able to continue providing high quality medical care to cancer victims.  The health status of the patient will improve and chances for survivial will be tremendously enhanced as well as the quality of life for them and their family members.  Results have been monitored via desk reviews conducted by state auditors, on-site reviews and surveys completed by the patients.  All results have been extremely favorable.
