Someone who understood what you were feeling and could provide cancer support? Someone who had been there and done that. Learning that you have cancer can be an overwhelming experience one that leaves you frightened and vulnerable. The Patient Mentoring Program offers one-on-one, confidential outreach and support from someone who has successfully made the same journey That of recovery. Mentors are cancer survivors who can offer comfort, reassurance, information, coping techniques, positive strategies and practical advice. PAC Initiative Examples Celebrate Today -Utilization of Funds Revised 9/2/10 As agreed upon by the patient advisory committee, the following guidelines have been set forth for utilization of Celebrate Today Funds; 1. Lymphedema sleeves and compression garments- can be ordered on an as needed basis for patients after they have established consultation with a certified lymphedema specialist. 2. Gas Vouchers-$20- A gas voucher may be given to a patient who is currently receiving treatment, that have traveled 60 miles or more round trip to the SCTRC unless patient is eligible for mileage reimbursement. A patient will not receive more than 2 vouchers in a week. Patients will sign the verification form when receiving the voucher. Vouchers will be provided at the discretion of the PN. 3. Lodging- Any patient receiving treatment of 3 times a week or more is eligible for lodging assistance if they live outside a 60 mile radius. (120 miles round trip). Patients may only receive this benefit for a maximum of 4 days/ week-because of the Hope Lodge, this will be discontinued. 4. Wigs- Any new chemo patient who is experiencing alopecia is eligible to receive a wig voucher. 5. Other- nutritional support/ostomy supplies as needed basis These funds are not a guarantee and will be provided depending on the availability of funds. 3

5 PAC Initiative Examples From the Patient s Perspective: Have you noticed that the street name of Southwest Cancer Center Drive has changed? The name is now Hope Lane. Why the change? Actually this change was initiated by the Patient Advisory Committee of the Southwest Cancer Treatment and Research Center. This group consists of 4 patients, each with a different cancer diagnosis and each with a different managing oncologist. The committee was formed to evaluate patient care processes and initiate changes to improve patient satisfaction during the entire patient experience. The change to the street name may be simple, but it serves as a reminder that there is HOPE while fighting the battle for your life. 4
