As an academic psychiatrist/psycho-oncologist who has done research and provided clinical care to people with cancer for decades, I am deeply impressed by the compassionate but hard-headed approach Triage Cancer takes to helping with financial stress, which is a major problem in our fragmented health care system. They fill a gap in support that makes life tangibly better for people with cancer and their families. There are many fine support organizations dealing with the emotional aspects of cancer, but little help for these concrete problems that profoundly complicate living with the illness. I admire their dedication and expertise.
