Triage Health, a program of Triage Cancer, provides free education on the legal and practical issues related to navigating a chronic or serious medical condition.

Triage Health has extensive free resources for individuals diagnosed with a chronic or serious medical condition, caregivers, and health care professionals, on the legal and practical issues that may arise after a diagnosis. Free animated videos, Quick Guides & Checklists, state laws, and other resources that may be helpful are available on their website. Their free resources are applicable to anyone with a serious medical condition, or the general public.

The road to diagnosis is difficult enough. Understanding if your medication has coverage by federal, provincial or territorial public drug plans should be easier. In Canadian Skin Patient Alliance's (CSPA) 15 years, they have seen the difficulties that people have faced getting a diagnosis, exploring available treatment options to find one that works for them, and affording the (often many) treatments that they are prescribed. Improving affordable and timely access to effective medications is a cornerstone of CSPA’s education and advocacy initiatives.

In response, CSPA has introduced a new digital tool, “Is My Prescription Covered?” This free and interactive drug coverage finder allows everyone in Canada the opportunity to answer a series of Yes and No questions to find out whether the medication that has been prescribed to them is covered.

Although the CSPA is an organization for people affected by skin conditions, the drug coverage finder was designed so that anyone in Canada with any health condition can check to see if they’re eligible for coverage.

A Helping Hand is CancerCare's search tool to help individuals with a cancer diagnosis find assistance from organizations providing financial or practical help.

CancerCare helps individuals and families better cope with and manage the emotional and practical challenges arising from cancer.
