About two years ago, NHRMC started providing some patients with food boxes when they left the hospital to help them in the days following their discharge. The boxes have now grown into a full-fledged food pharmacy program.

MISSION MOMENT:

“I had felt like something was wrong for a while but did not go to the doctor. Last December, I passed out and was brought to the hospital. A few days later, I was diagnosed with metastatic lung cancer. I began chemotherapy in January 2021 and my body has responded well to it. I am now on a maintenance treatment which I receive every three weeks.

I am unable to work right now due to my cancer treatments, and I only have a small amount of money each month for living expenses. My wife passed away in 2014, so I am living alone and trying to take care of myself.

Having access to the food box program at Zimmer Cancer Center is a big help. Not only do I enjoy and tolerate the food well, but I greatly appreciate not having to go to the grocery store when I am tired or not feeling well from treatment.

Everyone at Zimmer Cancer Center has been so nice to me, and the care I have received has been wonderful. It has made this journey a little bit easier to go through.”

MISSION MOMENT:

Five years ago, I met the Servicky family when Laurel (Servicky) Shambley’s mother Leslie was hospitalized near the end of her battle with lung cancer.

I witnessed Leslie fighting to add meaningful moments, even if it meant just minutes, to her life on Earth with her family. I saw Laurel’s family longing to provide their mother all the love and comfort possible in her passing moments.

It was beautiful, and heartbreaking, at the same time. The connection made in those few days with Leslie, and her family, continues to impact me as a provider, and as a friend and family member to many with cancer.

As a hospitalist and the medical director of NHRMC’s Surgery Navigation Center, I’ve had the opportunity to care for cancer patients in various stages of illness and walks of life.

Our patients face emotional, financial, and medical hardships, and NHRMC recognizes that there are many things that can impact a patient’s care.

Your support of our community's cancer patients through Currents of Care is essential to providing the best experience possible during an otherwise difficult time.

Whether it’s through addressing disparities in early cancer detection, providing nutritional support to optimize health around a patient’s treatment and surgery, or covering transportation to essential appointments, the financial commitments of many working together make a big difference and are deeply appreciated.
