The award winning Carson Tahoe Cancer Resource Center CRC is open five days a week, offering services at no cost to patients. The CRC works directly with the diagnosed patient and their families to educate on the diagnosis, treatments and side effects of treatments. The CRC also serves as a safe environment for the patients with supplemental healing therapies such as yoga classes and massage therapy. The CRC has been providing outreach and assistance to cancer patients since February 2000. There are more than 350 visits to the CRC annually for newly diagnosed cancer patients. Contributions are used for expenses related to treatment, for cancer patients in need. The Breast Fund underwrites expenses for breast cancer patients who meet the financial criteria.

The 15 Unit Merriner Cottages provide temporary housing to medically underserved and underinsured cancer patients in the Nevada counties of Carson City, Churchill, Douglas, Lyon, Pershing, Story and Washoe. As well as the eastern portions of California counties of El Dorado, Placer and Nevada. Carson Tahoe Health serves a vast community of over 250,000 people, with a predominantly rural geographic area. On average, 55 of patients receiving care at the Carson Tahoe Cancer Center live outside of Carson City and more than 20 miles away. For many, the cost of travel and/or lodging would be a barrier to medical treatment, if the Merriner Cottages were not available.The Foundation underwrites the operating costs of the Cottages annually, housing over 200 patients and their families each year. Treatment periods for patients qualified to stay in the Cottages typically range from three to eight weeks. The estimated hard costs of an overnight stay in the Cottages is 80, with an average stay costing 1,800 per patient.
