Karen's Dream

Karen's Fight
During Karen's fight, The Joan Karnell Cancer Center at Pennsylvania Hospital was an integral partner in helping Karen to manage her illness, by providing exceptional treatment and personalized care. Karen was so impressed by the supportive staff and the quality of service they provided that she created The Karen Graham Endowment Fund to support their efforts. This money was designated to provide financial support for women who are not equipped to manage the substantial costs associated with battling this disease, including co-pays, rent subsidy, transportation, food vouchers and other critical needs that in turn allow patients to focus on their health and wellness and alleviates some of the stressors of maintaining their homes and lives.

What the Supportive Care Program provides
A cancer diagnosis and its treatment can be overwhelming. Patients and family members typically have many questions and concerns about the disease and treatment.

The Joan Karnell Supportive Care Program at Pennsylvania Hospital helps you and your family cope with the physical and emotional distress caused by a cancer diagnosis and treatment.

We believe that supportive care is the essence of compassionate cancer care. Support comes in a variety of shapes and sizes to match your needs and concerns as you work to combat cancer. The less distress you have, the more energy you can direct toward recovery.
