Patient Services

We are here to support you, your family, and your caregivers and to work with your healthcare professionals. Our team of advocates both in the United States and across the world has experience in providing emotional support, informational referrals and advocacy in over 30 languages.

Each year, we help over 20,000 patients and families in more than 100 countries through our International Patient Helpline.

International Patient Helpline

The MAX Helpline, a flagship program of The MAX Foundation, is staffed by a team of advocates who are able to assess a cancer patient or caregiver’s eligibility for our two free programs. Program eligibility is determined through our phone intake process, and based on the patient’s diagnosis and where the patient and or caregiver reside.

• Patient Navigation: A program for people anywhere in the world living with CML and GIST. We assist by mapping your healthcare system, with the aim of access to treatment. Advocates help with practical care and support by identifying resources that match the individual needs of each patient and family.

• Banding Together: A program for people anywhere in the world living with a blood cancer or rare cancer who have a contact in the US interested in helping with fundraising on your behalf. Through this program, we help loved ones by providing fundraising mentorship so they may raise money for your treatment-related expenses.
