The Arkansas Prostate Cancer Foundation’s Patient Assistance to Care Program was created to limit the financial burden on patients receiving treatment by offering resources including:
- Medical co-pay assistance, including physical therapy
- Gas cards for transportation to and from appointments
- Lodging accommodations for patients traveling across the state
Men with prostate cancer incur medical expenses for office visits, imaging tests, hospital stays, and transportation costs. These costs add up quickly. Through the Patient Assistance to Care Program, APCF envisions a day where men in Arkansas will not have to postpone or delay treatment due to his or his family’s financial burdens.
I didn’t know about the Program at first, but once I talked to APCF, I was so lucky to have the help. They saved my life six years ago. I got really good care with the help of APCF.
