SHiNE™ is proud to support patients living with cancer in Chester County, PA through funding of the following programs at The Abramson Cancer Center at Chester County Hospital:
Nurse Navigators
When faced with a cancer diagnosis, the challenges of arranging for consultations with surgeons, radiologists and other health care professionals can be overwhelming. Navigating through the medical world and insurance requirements is equally demanding. Nurse Navigators will help patients schedule medical appointments and identify any issues with insurance coverage. Assistance obtaining other services, such as transportation, nutritional counseling, and psychological support, will also be provided. Donate Now! >>
Transportation

Reimbursement for Anti-Nausea Medication
For some patients, anti-nausea drugs are not covered under insurance plans or carry a high dollar co-insurance. The physical and emotional health of patients battling the negative effects of chemotherapy without the benefit of anti-nausea medicine is compromised. Our goal is to assist these patients so that their quality of life can be maintained while going through chemotherapy treatments. Patients will need to pre-qualify for any subsidy. Donate Now! >>
SHiNE is pleased to offer these services to the people of Chester County, PA so that the heart of our mission statement is realized...to provide support to the individual so that his or her strength, courage and heart will continue to SHINE.
