Waves of Hope
Waves of Hope provides monthly financial assistance directly to patients and families for essential living expenses such as rent, utilities, groceries, gas, rideshares, pharmacies and more.
HOW TO ENROLL:
-
A patient advocate, financial counselor or nurse must send the patient's application to ECPCI 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.
-
ECPCI cannot accept applications sent directly from the patient.
-
Within a week of receiving the application, ECPCI’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.
-

Waves of Hope is a direct patient services program that provides financial assistance to patients in need. Pancreatic cancer treatments are intense and often require a patient to travel long distances to receive the care they need. When patients are unable to work during these critical times, a family can see their income drastically cut.
