Welcome to PAF’s Case Management Program!
In this brief video we will share important details about PAF case management services including who we help, what we do, a few things PAF can’t do, and how we can serve you best! The goal of our case management support is to reduce the practical and financial burden for patients so they can focus on getting better.
At Patient Advocate Foundation, we know that living with cancer can be overwhelming. It can complicate daily life and cause extreme stress for patients and families. Challenges like these can distract from what’s most important- treatment and recovery.
