Ensuring a Comfortable Stay for Out-of-Town Patients
When traveling for surgery, having comfortable accommodations is essential. That’s why we’ve partnered with several organizations that help those in need access free or low-cost lodging. Specifically for breast reconstruction after cancer patients, these programs ease your financial burden and provide reassurance during uncertain times.
At PRMA, we aim to make accessing care as seamless as possible. Learn more about our hotel assistance programs below.
