Donate to the APG Cancer Foundation
Make a difference to local patients with cancer through a tax-deductible monetary donation to the APG Cancer Foundation. Donations support Iowa's residents who receive cancer treatment in Linn or adjacent counties (Benton, Buchanan, Cedar, Delaware, Iowa Johnson and Jones) and need financial assistance to help cover their medical expenses.
What Happens When Patients Can’t Afford Medications?
The high cost of cancer treatment negatively impacts many families in Iowa – even those with health insurance. Inability to afford out-of-pocket costs can lead patients to delay or even skip their medications. The result may be:
- Faster disease progression
- Higher risk of complications
- Medication resistance
- More frequent doctor visits
- More frequent and longer hospitalizations
- Reduced quality of life
