Hope Suite Hope -
Medical Travel & Lodging Assistance Program
Provides financial support for patients who must travel for pancreatic cancer care, including help with hotel stays, flights, rental cars, and all transportation expenses.
​HOW TO ENROLL:
-
A patient advocate, financial counselor or nurse must send the patient's application to NMF from the healthcare facility.
-
It is up to the patient to ask someone at the healthcare facility to send us the renewal application each month.
-
-
NMF cannot accept applications sent directly from the patient.
-
Within a week of receiving the application, NMF’s patient liaison will contact the patient to explain the program and answer any questions they may have. The patient will be told when support can begin, or if they will be placed on a waitlist.
-
Financial grants are provided in the form of gift cards or direct bill pay for as long as a patient is enrolled. Examples include: gas gift cards, grocery gift cards, utility bills, etc.

“Since its inception in May 2018, we have sent many patients numerous times to comfortable hotels to ease the burden and anxiety of their situation. Our goal is to continue to work in tandem with Nikki Mitchell Foundation and help reduce some of the financial stress associated with pancreatic cancer."
