About This Grant:
This grant will enhance accessibility to cancer care services at St. Mary's Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders, as well as at St. Mary's Infusion Therapy Center. This initiative specifically targets patients facing inequities, those too unwell to transport themselves, or those struggling with transportation costs. By addressing these challenges, SMRMC aims to reduce appointment no-shows and enhance the overall well-being of our cancer patients through consistent adherence to recommended therapy, treatment, and follow-up plans.
