The Connecting Hope, Assistance and Treatment (CHAT) Program at Brigham and Women's Hospital, which is administered by the Center for Community Health and Health Equity (CCHHE), assists women with breast cancer who have insufficient income and insurance coverage to pay for necessary services and treatment related to their breast cancer diagnosis. Eligible women may receive up to $1,200 per calendar year to help defray the cost of Tamoxifen, breast prostheses and bras, wigs, transportation and childcare related to treatment, counseling, compression sleeves and other breast cancer related expenses. Women with an individual annual income of $25,000 or less or a total family annual income of $42,000 or less and who are Massachusetts resident are eligible. Women do not have to be Brigham and Women's Hospital patients in order to receive assistance.
To apply, women or their advocates should complete the CHAT Resource Request form. This form is available at the link below or by calling the CCHHE at 617-732-5759 or by email mdouyon@partners.org
