Breast Cancer Treatment Assistance Program

Your Dollars at Work: A Snapshot
This program offers financial assistance to breast cancer patients for medication and medical bills not covered by charity care and helps patients navigate the healthcare system.
                  
 In Their Own Words…
The Breast Cancer Treatment Assistance Program will offer financial assistance to St. Joseph’s Regional Medical Center’s Breast Cancer patients for medication and medical bills not covered by charity care and navigation through our complex healthcare system. Medical case management will also be offered to ensure easy access and comprehensive services for patients who have been diagnosed with breast cancer and are in need of additional medical services.  Our goal is to reach 50 women who are uninsured or underinsured and are not eligible for Medicaid in Passaic County.  The Treatment Assistance Program will work in conjunction with New Jersey Cancer Education and Early Detection and Komen for the Cure screening program to ensure services are not duplicated.
