Our Approach
650,000 people receive outpatient chemotherapy in the US each year. Many of these patients will be in treatment for 4 - 12 hours. A meal is not provided by the hospital. That’s where our lifeline begins. Every patient in our program, as well as any visiting caregivers, receives access to free lunch prepared by local restaurants during every treatment for as long as they need. From there, we deliver additional programming and personalized care.
