It Starts with the Patient
“Some patients suffer tremendous financial consequences as a result of illness while others begin their journey already disadvantaged by their pre-existing socio-economic circumstances. Whatever the case, we know that the unique needs of vulnerable, low-income patients can be addressed with navigation to critical resources like food, housing, utilities, and transportation.”

" It is a great program for people like myself who need help and can’t afford it. Thanks so much! God bless you! "
Jearlene | Osteoporosis" The appropriate place to start is to express my appreciation for your participation in my cancer fighting efforts. Upon hearing the expected cost of the [prescribed cancer fighting therapy] my immediate thought was that cancer would be a contributing cause of my death since that level of expenditure would never fit into a retired teacher’s budget. Therefore please accept my sincere thanks… "
Ray | Multiple Myeloma" Without your Co-Pay Relief Program how would we get treatment? I hadn’t realized this assistance was available – I’m grateful! "
Janet | Breast Cancer" …to my great relief “Co-Pay Relief” covered the copay. This help has given back to me the hope of many years to come. All the people I have spoken to have handled my case with dignity and respect … I am grateful that CPR is helping me stay alive. "
Betty | Pulmonary Fibrosis" …Your financial help saved me. "
Hans | Metastatic Prostate Cancer" The impact has been lifegiving. Without your financial assistance, I would not have had the resources to afford the treatments that I need. We have talked with a number of people on your staff, and everyone has been helpful and professional, and most importantly, has seemed genuinely interested in my well-being. I am grateful beyond words. "
