The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS), a global organisation involved in the fight against cancer, along with valued partners, has launched its LLS COVID-19 Patient Financial Aid Program to help as many blood cancer patients as possible during the COVID-19 crisis, it was reported on Wednesday.

The program is to commence immediately and will grant USD250 to eligible patients struggling with the economic hardship presented by the pandemic.

The LLS COVID-19 Patient Financial Aid Program is one of many services provided by the LLS for patients, including the The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society Co-Pay Assistance Program, Patient Aid, Susan Lang Pay-It-Forward Patient Travel Assistance Program and Urgent Need Program. It will also offer free clinical trial navigation guidance through LLS's Clinical Trial Service Center, and its Information Resource Center provides patients and families with one-on-one support with a Blood Cancer Information Specialist at 800-955-4572.
