Forecasting into the future is critical to the success of our mission; therefore, careful due diligence when it comes to budgetary planning will allow us to offer more support to cancer patients and caregivers, at no additional cost to them.

Billable to Insurance

Payer & provider partnerships that allow ~70% of our ongoing operation costs to be reimbursed through CPT-4 coding

Friends & Family Sponsorships

Loved ones will be able to contribute to enrollment costs so that our programs are free to those who need it

Annual Grants

Each year we will set aside development efforts to take advantage of funding opportunities in both the maritime and palliative care sectors
