Patient Assistance/Transportation Services (PATS)

For many people, cancer isn’t just a health challenge; it’s a financial one, too. The Patient Assistance/Transportation Services (PATS) program alleviates some of the financial hardship associated with treatment by assisting with travel, lodging, co-payment, diagnostic and other costs.


When a cancer diagnosis affects not just one’s physical health, but also one’s financial stability, our Patient Assistance/Transportation Services program (PATS) steps in. Through this vital community program, we provide financial assistance in the form of a pre-paid gift card that can be used for travel, lodging, co-payment, diagnostic and other cancer-related costs.

A physician’s referral is required, along with proof of residence in El Paso County, and must comply with our guidelines. Assistance is limited, and depends on current availability of funds.

For more information about this program, call Dianne Medina (915) 562-7660 or email [email protected].
