Financial Cancer Care
Half of all Minnesotans will receive a cancer diagnosis in their lifetime, and 74% of those will struggle financially due to that diagnosis. That struggle, known as cancer-related financial toxicity, can cause skipped doctor appointments, rationing of medication, as well as increased stress and depression.
Angel Foundation, in partnership with Ameriprise Financial, Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Minnesota, AbbVie, and with support from the Financial Planning Association of Minnesota and the Foundation for Financial Planning, is launching a pilot program to help combat this growing problem.
