It’s through the really tough moments that you realize just how strong and courageous you really are. - Jeanie

​​Your generous donations help us fund compassionate care initiatives that support our mission. We currently support three initiatives:
​

​Oncology Programs at Southern NH Health Medical Center

We’re honored to support several oncology-related programs here, including Solution Health’s Oncology Nurse Navigation program at their Nashua campus, plus their oncology food pantry and Uber Health cards to assist patients in need. As many of you know, Jeanie was fortunate to be able to receive much of her treatment at SNHMC, even though her primary oncologist was located at Dana Farber in Boston. The ability to receive treatment and care locally provided relief from long commutes to Dana-Farber for frequent checkups and testing, but it also required a lot of coordination. With the newly formed Nurse Navigator program at the Nashua campus, the objective is to “ensure every patient who enters the SolutionHealth Cancer Institute with a cancer diagnosis is connected with an Oncology Nurse Navigator for care management.” While the role isn’t billable, it requires a highly qualified nurse who meets strict criteria. Plus, it provides critical coordination and helps patients “engage in their healthcare and navigate them through the complexities of cancer care.”

​Falzone Center for Cancer Care – Exeter Hospital

We were also honored to make donations the new Falzone Center for Cancer Care at Exeter Hospital and had the opportunity to take a hard-hat tour of the space before it opened. We were so impressed with the space—including the amount of natural light, several gardens (which many can be seen from infusion rooms), and the spacious private infusion rooms—all designed with input from so many, including patients and staff, to learn what was important. The thought and design of the new space embody our mission of “nurturing hope and enhancing quality of life through compassionate care initiatives.” We’re proud to support you. We also supported the hospital's Beyond the Rainbow Fund to support oncology patients in need.
