Based at the UMC Infusion Center, the Sobreviviendo el Cáncer program provides psychosocial support and short-term financial assistance to patients facing cancer without insurance or adequate resources. Founded in 2009 by a team of dedicated UMC oncology nurses and social workers, the program has helped more than 10,500 patients overcome barriers to care.
With 37% of UMC’s cancer patients uninsured, many struggle to afford basic needs like transportation, co-pays, medication, and medical supplies—costs that can disrupt treatment and impact outcomes. Sobreviviendo el Cáncer works to identify and address these challenges, so patients can focus on healing.
