About the role

At Alliance for CancerCare Equity, we've embarked on an ambitious mission to cover the costs of cancer treatment and related expenses for patients who lack the financial means to pay for their care. By doing so, we aim to alleviate the financial burden on families and empower patients to focus on their recovery journey without financial worry
Join us in our quest to redefine cancer care. Together, we can ensure that every individual, regardless of their financial situation, receives the treatment they need to fight cancer and reclaim their future. Together, let's make life-changing compassionate care accessible to all who need it most
