Mission

New Day Foundation for Families improves quality of life and treatment outcomes for Michigan cancer patients and families by providing financial assistance and emotional support in partnership with hospitals.

3 Pillars of Cancer Care

The three pillars of cancer care — diagnostics, medical treatment and support services — combine to create a standard of care that should be accessible to all Michiganders.

New Day Three Pillars

Financial assistance for cancer patients isn’t a luxury — it’s a desperate need for survival. New Day is on mission to improve access and uphold the Support Services pillar for all Michigan families by creating a standard of care that gives every patient the best opportunity to reach remission.

Every cancer center in the state relies on New Day to sustain cancer patients and families during one of the most difficult times in their lives. Financial losses caused by cancer cast a dark shadow on a patient’s road to remission that can be catastrophic.

Research shows that patients who experience financial toxicity are twice as likely to die from cancer than patients with the same diagnosis who have financial stability. We have the power to change this for more moms, dads, and children every day.

Hospital Partners

New Day works in partnership with Michigan hospitals and cancer centers to help families alleviate the financial burden of cancer. Regardless of socio-economic status, financial toxicity can lead to crippling debt, bankruptcy and disruption to medical treatment, resulting in poor quality of life and reduced chance of overall survival.
