Cooper Cancer Institute Funds

The Cooper Cancer Institute Fund (2514)

This fund supports CCI education programs, research efforts and patient assistance services related to all cancer types. It is through this fund that CCI provides support to patients in need. Through the Patients in Need initiative, CCI provides small grants to patients who require financial assistance to cover basic living expenses (rent, utilities and food bills) and expenses related to their care (insurance co-pays, deductibles, etc.). Patient need is evaluated and determined by CCI physicians, nurses and social work staff.
