Cancer is a health crisis followed by a financial crisis.

While doctors do their absolute best to treat and manage a cancer diagnosis, they cannot help patients with the following side effects: foreclosure, bankruptcy, and food insecurity. Social determinants of health such as employment, education, transportation, housing, access to healthy food, and poverty are often a more reliable prediction of successful cancer outcomes than clinical care.

New Day provides financial support for everyday living expenses so that families can focus on what matters — healing and wellness.

Applications for our Financial Assistance Program must be submitted through a hospital social worker or financial navigator. All bills are paid directly to creditors.
