CancerCare and Cardiac Care Funds

All proceeds from the Friends Gala directly benefit Saint Francis Healthcare System’s CancerCare and CardiacCare patient funds.

The CancerCare fund helps cancer patients in financial need with essential services and supplies they cannot afford such as nutritional supplements, medicine, transportation, lodging and more.

The CardiacCare fund assists Heart Hospital patients with cardiac rehabilitation, other necessary services and equipment they otherwise could not afford.
