Development Manager

About Triage Cancer

Triage Cancer is a national, nonprofit organization that provides free education on the legal and practical issues that may impact individuals diagnosed with cancer and their caregivers, through events, materials, and resources.

It is our belief that everyone should have access to the resources they need to manage their life beyond diagnosis regardless of their type of cancer, where they live, or their financial situation. Those diagnosed with cancer and their caregivers are too often underserved when it comes to information they need to find their best path forward, beyond diagnosis.

To that end, Triage Cancer’s programs and services include (1) educational materials and resources on the legal and practical issues that may impact individuals diagnosed with cancer and their caregivers, including an educational blog and CancerFinances.org an online toolkit on navigating finances after a cancer diagnosis, (2) educational events for individuals diagnosed with cancer, caregivers, and oncology health care professionals, and (3) a Legal & Financial Navigation program that provides individuals diagnosed with cancer, caregivers, and health care professionals with free one-on-one help in the areas of health insurance, disability insurance, employment, finances, medical decision-making, estate planning, and other legal and practical issues. Triage Cancer is funded primarily by grants, sponsorship, and donations.  For more information about Triage Cancer, visit TriageCancer.org. Triage

Cancer has also expanded its scope to provide education to anyone with a chronic or serious medical condition through TriageHealth.org.
