Managing day-to-day life after diagnosis can be overwhelming, but you don’t have to do it alone. Pfizer Oncology TogetherTM is a support program that treats your individual needs as a priority.
The Care Champion Program is a free service from Pfizer Oncology Together. You’ll be partnered with a dedicated Care Champion who has social work experience. They’re trained to provide you and your loved ones with ongoing support from diagnosis through treatment.*
We can connect you to diagnosis-specific support groups, an independent organization that offers short-term counseling, and a free app, developed by Pfizer Oncology, to help patients connect with loved ones and ask for the support they need.
To help support your overall health and well-being, we’ve created resources about physical and mental health, as well as nutrition tips and healthy recipes developed in partnership with dietitians who specialize in oncology nutrition. We can also provide you with information to help you understand your prescribed INLYTA (axitinib).
If you need assistance with transportation or lodging for treatment-related appointments, we’ll connect you to independent organizations that offer these services for free to qualifying patients.
And if you’re leaving work for a period of time during treatment, or preparing to return to work, we can send you information to help make the transition easier.
Pfizer Oncology Together can help you understand your options for how to obtain your prescribed INLYTA. We can identify a specialty pharmacy that can fill your prescription, based on your insurance plan. Specialty pharmacies provide medicines that might not be available at typical neighborhood pharmacies. Usually a specialty pharmacy will ship your medicine directly to your home.
*Some services are provided through third-party organizations that operate independently and are not controlled by Pfizer. Availability of services and eligibility requirements are determined solely by these organizations.
