The Dean Snell Cancer Foundation was created by his family to honor the memory of Dean who lost his battle with esophageal cancer in September 2009. During his 15 month battle, Dean’s amazing attitude, strength, determination and courageous spirit were an inspiration to his family and everyone around him.

 

There are many expenses related to cancer treatment that can put a financial and emotional strain on patients and their families at a time when they need to concentrate on their health. Medical insurance covers only a portion of the costs of those treatments. Out-of-pocket expenses such as insurance co-payments and deductibles, multiple medications, costs associated with travel during treatment as well as other unanticipated expenses are often difficult for patients and families to manage. 

​
