ATLANTA (AP) - A drug company is pledging $10 million to The American Cancer Society — one of the largest gifts in the organization's history — to help provide one-on-one support for cancer patients in U.S. hospitals, the organization announced Wednesday.
The unusual gift is from AstraZeneca PLC, an international pharmaceutical company.
It's earmarked for a program that stations specially-trained Cancer Society employees in 60 hospitals and cancer treatment centers. The "navigators" guide patients to social and emotional support, transportation, medical and financial assistance services.
