On the main stage at yesterday's Healthcare Advocate Summit: 🌟 Family Reach CEO Carla Tardif joined HealthWell Foundation's Alan Klein and CancerCare's Kim Czubaruk to put life-saving collaboration in the spotlight. 🌟 One example — partnerships that remove non-medical barriers like transportation to clinical trials are making progress toward achieving the Cancer Moonshot's goal to end cancer as we know it.

Financial support for families facing cancer
About us
Treatment requires more than medicine — families need a roof over their heads and food on their tables to survive. If a family can’t meet these basic needs, cancer treatment takes a back seat. Family Reach is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that works with patients, providers, and community organizations to challenge the systems that force families to choose between their health and their home. Together, we’re making financial treatment a standard of cancer care.

Today marks two important moments... 🎗️ Recognizing the start of #ChildhoodCancerAwarenessMonth 🎗️ Remembering 11-year-old Christopher Colangelo, who passed away on this day in 1981 and inspired his family to start Family Reach Christopher was known for his tremendous care for others, happiness, and energy. This month and always, his legacy guides us to continue standing up to the #financialtoxicity of cancer. 🤝 You can join us — from individual giving to corporate partnerships, there's always room for more in our community. Together, we can build a world where no family has to worry about affording necessities like food and housing during cancer treatment. www.familyreach.org

One of Rosa's favorite things to do is travel with her daughter. When she was diagnosed with multiple myeloma, trips to vacation spots instead became trips to the hospital. She also had to stop working during treatment, so her savings went to necessities like rent and transportation. 💬 "We really appreciate not only your support, but also the very important work for families in circumstances like these, whose voices are raising up other families who are in need," Rosa shared. 🩵 Thank you to Pfizer for funding life-changing financial support for people and families facing multiple myeloma.

Cancer care requires more than medicine. Everyday non-medical needs like 🚗 transportation to the hospital, 🏠 secure housing, and 🥗 nutritious diets are critical to recovery — yet they're not always included in treatment plans. Financial resources are out there, and we need to make sure people know they exist. Kudos to Healthline Media for sharing this helpful guide!

We know that Black and Hispanic/Latino communities face greater levels of #FinancialToxicity — and we know this needs to change. 🤝🏾 Community-led solutions are already making a difference in this crisis. By partnering with these organizations, we've been able to extend our reach and support even more families in need. 💜 Thank you to our generous funders Amgen, Eli Lilly and Company, Daiichi Sankyo US, Exelixis, Blueprint Medicines, Seagen, Genentech, GSK, and Golf Fights Cancer for investing in this life-saving work!

Race shouldn't be a barrier to cancer care — but it is. 📊 Our data shows that Black and Hispanic/Latino patients are more likely to skip cancer treatment due to financial reasons, impacting their chances of survival. 🔍 Alongside policy changes, experts at University of Michigan recommend expanding existing solutions to address health inequities.
