Ann B. Barshinger Cancer Institute

Funds raised by the community, for the community. 

A diagnosis of cancer is overwhelming, but thanks to community support, we are able to offer exceptional care supported by holistic services, the latest technology, and growing research to fight cancer.

Since the opening of the Ann B. Barshinger Cancer Institute in 2013, nearly 5,000 financially challenged patients have benefited from patient support funds while undergoing cancer care. These funds, made possible thanks to generous gifts, help cover daily living expenses so patients can focus on healing. 

You can help support patients by making a gift today.

Who We Are

The Ann B. Barshinger Cancer Institute serves the Lancaster Community (and beyond) by providing exceptional cancer treatment that supports the mind, body, and spirit of patients and families. As part of the Penn Medicine family, we belong to a robust and nationally recognized network of cancer treatment and research teams who will never stop working toward a cure for all types of cancer. Our team of oncologists, clinical and support staff help patients navigate through their cancer diagnosis, treatment, and recovery with the highest level of compassion and care.
The Cancer Patient Support Fund at the Ann B. Barshinger Cancer Institute supports patients who experience financial hardship while in treatment. These dollars are made possible through generous community donors, such as those during the Extraordinary Give. Financial counselors at the Cancer Institute help patients access these funds, which provide assistance for rent/mortgage payments, transportation costs, utility payments and other essential bills.
