Partnership Cancer Fund

Partnership Cancer Fund Application Form

The Partnership Cancer Fund was created to assist area cancer patients undergoing cancer treatment with certain medically related expenses.

Treatment can be costly, especially if you are no longer able to work or do not have health insurance. The cost of medication, durable medical equipment, nutritional supplements, and transportation to and from treatment often places an additional financial strain on families.

Without the help of the Partnership Cancer Fund, many of these cancer patients face tremendous financial hardship that can adversely affect their care and recovery.

Please consider becoming a contributor to the Partnership Cancer Fund! To request more information or a pledge card, email johnsparks@bellsouth.net or call John Sparks, Executive Director, Lowndes County Partnership for Health at (229)245-0020.
