We are excited to announce the launch of a new financial assistance program for people living with sickle cell disease. Are you or is one of your patients struggling with the out-of-pocket costs associated with sickle cell disease? TAF may be able to help. Visit enroll.tafcares.org or call (855) 905-3744 to speak with a Patient Advocate.
Supports families who are struggling with meeting their rent payment obligations. As we know, housing and health go hand-in-hand. It is important that while you are focused everyday on living as healthy as you can that you also have a stable place to live. If for any reason you need assistance paying rent, please consider the Chicago Low-Income Housing as a benefit available to you. There is an income requirement. Please visit: www.clihtf.org Any additional questions feel free to reach out to Annissa Lambirth-Garrett Executive Director.
