In partnership with the John T. Gorman Foundation, Maine Cancer Foundation has awarded 14 grants totaling $717,500 to organizations statewide that focus on providing transportation and lodging services to Maine cancer patients. Transportation and the costs associated with travel to cancer care are a significant barrier for many Mainers. These grants aim to expand access to care through various programs, including ride coordination, volunteer driver services, flight arrangements, mileage reimbursements, support for car repairs and insurance costs, lodging near treatment facilities, and other innovative solutions to help Mainers reach their treatments.
