FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM FOR CANCER TREATMENT
The Borland Groover Foundation aims to ensure all people have equitable access to colon cancer treatment services. If you have recently been diagnosed and are concerned that the cost of medical care is a barrier to your recovery, we want to help.

- You provide a confirmed diagnosis of colon, rectal, and/or anal cancer
- You demonstrate financial need according to these guidelines

- We make a payment on your behalf
