Premier Cares Foundation is proud to announce that funds are available with the “Care” Fund Grant Program.

Premier Cares Foundation is the only non-for-profit charity in the Hudson Valley who solely focuses on patients with urologic and digestive diseases. Partnering with Community Foundations of the Hudson Valley and local community action agencies, our “Care” Fund helps financially-challenged urologic and gastrointestinal patients in the Hudson Valley to receive grants for items such as medication/medical equipment not covered by insurance, housing, transportation, utilities or other expenses at their time of need.  We understand that a diagnoses can mean unplanned expenses that can cause extreme hardship. Premier Cares Foundation’s goal is to make sure that patients are assisted with their urgent needs, so that some of their stress can be alleviated.

Individuals currently undergoing treatment for prostate and/or colon cancer, or other urologic and digestive issues, may be eligible for assistance. If you live in the Hudson Valley and are undergoing treatment for a urologic or digestive disease, you may qualify for assistance with issues such as transportation, medication, and other financial challenges.

If you live in Columbia, Dutchess, or Putnam county please contact 845-452-5104 ext. 123 at Community Action Partnership for Dutchess County.

If you live in Ulster, Orange or Greene county, please contact Carroll Sisco at 845-331-7080 at Family of Woodstock or contact Stacey Lulkin at 845-341-1173 ext. 306 at Jewish Family Service of Orange County New York.
