Over the last 60 years, Charlotte County Cancer has helped Charlotte County residents with their unplanned costs of drugs, dressings/ostomy supplies, prosthetics and transportation.
They work with the social workers at the Regional Hospital in Saint John, the staff of extra-mural outlets, local drug stores, the medical community and the general public to refer those who need some assistance.
They can assist with money for transportation to medical appointments or treatments, including gas cards or ferry passes. Clients can charge their prescription costs to Charlotte County Cancer at their drug store when preapproved. They have hospital beds, which they loan out, or they can cover the cost of purchasing or renting other equipment needed to make life a little easier.
