Run For Your Buns

Our Mission: To continuously improve the health of the people of our region.

Vision:  To be the provider of the best patient and family-centered care and health services in America.

The North Mississippi Medical Center Cancer Care Fund provides approximately $250,000 annually to help qualifying cancer patients. Approximately 30 percent of those funds go directly to assist colon cancer patients.
This fund, administered by the Health Care Foundation of North Mississippi, is often the only resource available to help patients and their families through this difficult period of their lives. For example, a $250 contribution locally can provide:
• 4-5 months of pain and nausea medications for a patient to help combat the side effects of cancer treatment
• 2-3 months of transportation to daily radiation treatments
• 1 month feeding pump rental with feeding supplies and nutritional supplements
