Financial Cancer Care
What is the Financial Cancer Care (FCC) Program?
Financial Cancer Care helps patients, caregivers, and family members create a long-term financial strategy while addressing the financial burden that can come with a cancer diagnosis.
Patients and their caregivers or loved ones are invited to attend a one-hour workshop that gives a high-level overview of how to build a strong financial foundation. Each session is led by a Certified Financial Planner®, an individual who has received professional training to advise others about managing their finances. Upon completion of the one-hour workshop, the patient can receive a $250 gift card.
Patients and their caregivers or loved ones can meet one-on-one with a Certified Financial Planner® for up to three meetings to create a plan that focuses on their specific financial goals. Upon completing these meetings, patients can receive an additional gift card stipend for $250.
