Family Support.
MCC provides critical support services like relocation assistance and community support to Israeli families moving to the US for treatment. Family Coordinators, who speak Hebrew, work closely with families to address multiple needs: housing, transportation, new schools, and navigating a new, different culture.
Our work enables families fighting childhood cancer to feel supported so they can focus on the needs of their child.
Patient Advocacy.
MCC conducts outreach to relevant treatment centers, hospitals, doctors, nurses, and insurance providers in order to ensure our families get the best care possible. Our team translates “doctor speak” and medical documents, if necessary, into native languages. We facilitate second opinions and negotiate medical bills. Our patient advocacy work empowers families to be proactive about the treatment course for their child’s cancer and this significantly improves their child’s
chances of survival.
Wiki Cancer.
The most important weapon against childhood cancer is knowledge. This is why we created an innovative approach that can help families. We launched our Wiki Cancer the moment MCC was founded. It is the largest database of up-to-date information on childhood cancer and their possible treatments.
We are currently working on updating the database to be more user-friendly.
