Community Health Services

Fund Love builds and manages programs designed to meet to help members of the community address the factors have the greatest impact on their health and well-being. To accomplish this, we coordinate health services across many organizations, including health providers, schools, churches, and other community-based organizations, improving the care experience and health outcomes for those living and working in the community. Specifically, Fund Love provides those in the community with access to a vast resource center and information service, enabling them to find and access the services and supports that they need most.

I Am More Than Cancer

The I Am More Than Cancer Campaign was launched in 2017, building on earlier efforts, and with the aim of “relegating” all cancers to chronic diseases, by supporting the development of new ground-breaking therapies, translational research, and advances in personalized medicine. Thanks to the Campaign’s early successes, More Than Cancer is now a permanent and growing part of Fund Love’s program portfolio. Through our partnership with Columbia University, we serve as the lead sponsor of the Columbia’s Velocity Ride to End Cancer, and later this year, Fund Love will launch the More Than Cancer Wellness Center, helping patients, survivors, and family caregivers thrive both during and after their treatment journey, by providing a range of support, including fitness and nutrition services, pilates and yoga classes, and much more.

Health Financing

Fund Love provides and arranges for financing to support members of the community, who find themselves in difficult financial situations, due to the pandemic, job-loss, gaps in their health insurance coverage, and/or systemic social and economic inequities. These programs provide those living and working in the community with alternative solutions for paying for the health care and services that they require to get and stay well, and realize their full potential.
