The Cancer Foundation (TCF) is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization whose mission is to help alleviate the financial burden of cancer for eligible patients living in northeast Georgia. The physicians of University Cancer & Blood Center, LLC founded TCF in 2005 after treating a growing number of patients in need of financial assistance. When someone is diagnosed with cancer, the entire family suffers, not just emotionally, but also financially. Thus, the Financial Assistance Program helps alleviate a cancer patient’s immediate financial crisis and the debilitating stress that stems from their diagnosis. TCF wants to improve the quality of life for cancer patients living in our local community.
