Mission Statement

Since our inception in 2009, Compass to Care has developed, implemented, and offered solutions to help children overcome transportation barriers to access cancer treatment. Our mission is, and has always been, to provide a free non-emergency medical transportation (NEMT) solution to access life-saving cancer treatment and clinical trials for children fighting cancer and facing poverty or cancer-related financial toxicity (CRFT). By supporting families in financial distress and removing the transportation barrier to access cancer treatment, Compass to Care is focused on preventing missed medical appointments and improving outcomes for their children.
