OUR MISSION is supporting cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy. We provide supportive services to underserved communities comprised of low-income patients.
OUR FOCUS is to bring awareness to health disparities among uninsured families who can’t afford quality care. Having access to affordable healthcare is essential for individuals diagnosed with cancer and more likely to face financial toxicity due to treatment.
OUR COMMITMENT is to serve as a community resource distributed through a network of volunteers, in partnership with service agencies and referral programs.

Cancer continues to affect millions of individuals and families across the United States. According to the American Cancer Society, more than 2.1 million new cancer cases and over 626,000 cancer related deaths are projected in 2026.
After personally experiencing loss of income and financial toxicity resulting from the costs of cancer treatment, Hatz 4 Hearts Foundation founder Dr. Nicole Robinson coined the term “The Forgotten Middle.” It describes an often overlooked demographic of cancer patients and survivors whose income exceeds the eligibility limits for basic financial assistance, yet who remain financially vulnerable due to lost earnings and the mounting costs of treatment and care.
We believe cancer awareness must go beyond statistics. Hatz 4 Hearts Foundation remains committed to advocacy, education, support services, and raising awareness of cancer disparities affecting underserved communities.
