Patient story
Without Project Access, finding all the specialists and services for Kerrie Hubbard’s cancer treatment would have been difficult to coordinate, even if she’d had enough insurance to cover the $150,000 of care. With Project Access, Kerrie’s care was coordinated by the Project Access team, and she was linked with Dr. Katherine Morris, surgical oncologist.
“I love Dr. Kate. Everyone should be so lucky to have a doctor like her if they have to go through something as horrible as cancer,” Kerrie said. “I have been very blessed.”
And Project Access? “It’s a great program,” Kerrie said. “I don’t know where I’d be without them.”
