The many thousands of cancer patients in the Gulf Coast region who have
been displaced by Hurricane Katrina may have trouble over the coming
weeks getting access to the cancer treatment they need. To ensure that
these patients, many of whom are in need of acute care, do not have
their treatments interrupted, the Society is reaching out to treatment
facilities in the surrounding region to find out which ones are able to
help displaced patients from the evacuated areas. Patients are urged to
contact the Society’s Information Resource Center (IRC) at 1(800)
955-4572 to receive referrals to treatment facilities in the areas to
which they have relocated. Specialists in the IRC can also answer
questions about patients’ eligibility for financial aid offered by the
Society.
