SUNRIDGE MEDICAL • CANCER PATIENT RESOURCE CENTER

Cancer Patient Resources: Financial Help, Free Flights, Lodging & Support

Trusted information. Real help. Less time searching.

Cancer can affect far more than your health. It can affect finances, travel, family, work and everyday life. We created this Cancer Patient Resource Center to make practical help easier to find.

Why Sunridge Medical Created This Resource

Sunridge Medical is an integrative medical center in Scottsdale, Arizona that works with people facing cancer and other complex illnesses.

We see how cancer can create practical problems far beyond treatment: travel, lodging, transportation, medication costs, insurance, missed work, caregiving and household expenses.

We created this Cancer Patient Resource Center to bring useful organizations and programs together in one place.

Independent Resources

Sunridge Medical is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or financially connected to the independent organizations listed here unless specifically stated.

We do not receive compensation for including these resources. Programs, funding and eligibility can change, so patients should verify current information directly with each organization.

If a resource can make someone’s cancer journey a little easier, we believe it is worth sharing.
