Women’s Oncology Foundation of Greater Chattanooga
The Women’s Oncology Foundation of Greater Chattanooga was established to assist women afflicted with a gyn malignancy who live in Chattanooga and surrounding areas. The cost of cancer can be overwhelming. An individual’s care can include Surgery, Chemotherapy, Radiation, Medications and more. This doesn’t include travel expenses such as gas, hotel stays, food or lost pay from missing/taking off from work. The goal of our foundation is to help women who are suffering from a gyn malignancy with some of these ancillary items.
