What Assistance in Healthcare Inc does
Mission
Our mission is to help cancer patients in financial distress while they are in treatment by providing funds for non-medical expenses such as: mortgage/rent, food/groceries, utilities, childcare, and other basic needs, which may be neglected during a patient's treatment.
As stated on its FY2021 Form 990.
Program
Assistance in healthcare helps to keep patients focused on fighting cancer thus, alleviating financial worries and other stresses cancer can cause. In fiscal year 2021, assistance in healthcare has provided 232 patients and families of midwestern regional medical center hospital with monetary assistance used for utilities, family visits, food shelter, and other non-medical expenses.
The first program described on its most recent Form 990, which lists programs largest first by expense.
The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2017 to 2018, from $524k to $328k (−37%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 1 of the last 5 reported years ran a deficit.

Leadership and staff
The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $948 arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
