The purpose of the Chase County Cancer Patient Assistance Program is to help area residents facing the challenges of cancer.  Applicants who have been diagnosed with cancer or those who are in active treatment may apply for $1,000.00 annually.  Those who receive cancer prevention or detection services may apply for $250.00 annually.  For the purposes of payouts, annually means every rolling 12 months.

To be eligible for funds, a recipient must live in Chase County or receive medical treatment at Chase County Community Hospital & Clinics. The committee reserves the right to make exceptions to this eligibility in special circumstances. (Note: Amounts granted are set every January and are subject to change based on availability of funds.)
