About this organization
Mission
Gateway to Hope is a breast cancer lifeline. Our mission statement is: we remove barriers to affordable, timely, quality healthcare, empowering people with breast cancer to face the disease and focus on healing. From the moment of diagnosis, through surgery and treatment, there are countless moments of uncertainty for women facing breast cancer- especially for those who do not have access to affordable care or are struggling financially. This ultimately impacts their health outcomes. We provide financial assistance and emotional support to breast cancer patients who need it most so that they can focus on healing and getting well. Your donation/support helps Gateway to Hope lift burdens every day, and together, we can give hope to the patients we serve.
