Two hemispheres.
One path forward.
Financial support for life after brain surgery.
We help individuals facing financial hardship during recovery from brain surgery access the care, services, equipment, and practical support that recovery may require.
Recovery doesn’t end when surgery does.
Brain surgery can be only the beginning of a long recovery. After discharge, patients may need in-home care, rehabilitation, medical equipment, transportation, accessibility modifications, or other support—often while a patient or caregiver is unable to work.
Our purpose is simple: help reduce those financial barriers so patients and families can focus more of their energy on recovery.
Practical help for the road after brain surgery.
Assistance is designed around reasonable, documented expenses directly related to post-surgical recovery.
Home care
Home health nursing, in-home caregiving, personal assistance, and necessary respite care.
Rehabilitation
Physical, occupational, speech and language, cognitive, and other appropriate rehabilitation services.
Medical needs
Recovery supplies, mobility equipment, prescriptions, and other eligible out-of-pocket recovery costs.
Transportation
Reasonable transportation connected to medical appointments, rehabilitation, and follow-up care.
Lodging
Temporary lodging when treatment, rehabilitation, or follow-up care requires travel away from home.
Safer recovery at home
Necessary accessibility modifications, safety equipment, and other eligible home-recovery needs.
Need-based assistance, not diagnosis-specific assistance.
Eligibility is intended for U.S. residents recovering from brain surgery or another qualifying cranial neurosurgical procedure who demonstrate financial hardship.
That can include surgery associated with brain tumors, aneurysms, epilepsy, stroke, traumatic brain injury, vascular conditions, neurological disorders, and other qualifying conditions.
See Eligibility DetailsCompassion with accountability.
Financial assistance is evaluated through objective eligibility criteria, documented financial need, available resources, and conflict-of-interest safeguards.
Whenever practical, approved assistance is paid directly to providers or vendors, with reimbursement and direct assistance used when appropriate.
