Join us for Pancakes for Prescriptions, April 13, First Presbyterian Church, to raise money for prescriptions and protheses for cancer and blood disease patients.

Becki Tinder, who oversees our medication dispensary, is the catalyst for finding millions of dollars in funds to help patients afford treatment. Becki and our financial assistance program are featured in the PAN Foundation annual report.

The inability to pay for essential medical care is not just a problem for people who lack health insurance. If you’re covered by insurance or Medicare, you can be overwhelmed by the costs of prescriptions and treatment. The impact on cancer patients can lead to choices no one should have to make.

It’s our privilege to help patients afford the cost of prescriptions. Our own Becki Tinder is key to the process. Read a recent interview with Becki as she talks with the PAN Foundation about the difference she's able to make in people's lives.

The high price of cancer meds makes it difficult for many patients to fill their prescriptions. That's why we seek out funding sources to cover costs for every patient. In the last 3 years, we've saved patients nearly $7 million.

Join us April 23 for the annual "Pancakes for Prescriptions" fundraiser at First Presbyterian Church in Cedar Rapids, 8:30-11:30 am. Free will offering.
