COVID-19 Frontline Response Fund
In this time of great need, team members on the frontline of care at Moffitt Cancer Center are working diligently to ensure the health and safety of our patients. Despite the pandemic, hundreds of patients continue to seek lifesaving care every day in our hospital and outpatient facilities. Through it all, we work closely with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and other federal agencies, as well as state and local officials, to ensure we provide as safe an environment as possible. If you are interested and able, here are areas where you can choose to support our patients and the Moffitt team during this difficult time. Already, one of our supporters has pledged $100,000 to kick off the Moffitt’s COVID-19 Frontline Response Fund. A gift of any amount – large or small – is very gratefully received.
Choose Where Your Gift Will Help:
Patient Support
Help support the extraordinary complexity of caring for cancer patients in surgical and clinical settings, with the additional safety restrictions imposed by COVID-19. These efforts protect patients as well as physicians, nurses and other support staff.

Your gift will expand the delivery of Moffitt’s virtual health care services. Virtual visits between patients and our providers have skyrocketed from 100 a month to nearly 350 a day, a 7300% increase. Overnight, the need to provide a virtual connection between our patients and our clinical team has become critical.

Be among the first to support a group of renowned epidemiologists, immunologists and vaccine development researchers who are investigating new prevention and treatment strategies for COVID-19 and the impact of the virus on cancer treatment. Additionally, your efforts can support investigators in assessing the rates of infection and immunity to COVID-19 in our community.
