Sturgeon Bay’s Door-Can makes sure no family feels alone as a loved one goes through cancer treatment. According to the American Association of Retired Persons, treating cancer itself could cost people between $100,000 and $150,000 without factoring in travel for appointments and lost time at work. Door-Can Board Member and cancer survivor Sue Wehrli says the organization helps cancer patients take care of at least some of those bills.
If you live in Door County and just found out you or a family member has been diagnosed with cancer, you can apply for assistance from Door-Can at the cancer center at Door County Medical Center.
