Enhance the lives of patients undergoing treatment

Gifts may be designated for specific funds, clinics or programs at Feist-Weiller Cancer Center.

  1. The Mellanea and Max Rosenbloom Memorial Fund provides pain medication for cancer patients who have no other resources. Patients work through Feist-Weiller Cancer Center social workers to have these prescriptions filled.

  2. A Transportation Fund provides help to patients who frequently must travel long distances to receive treatment. One-third of Feist-Weiller Cancer Center patients travel 100 miles or more.

Designate funds for the St. Jude Affiliate Clinic, one of only five outside Memphis, which provides care for young patients with St. Jude Children's Research Hospital protocols.

Support other Feist-Weiller Cancer Center programs, such as the Arts in Medicine (AIM) program, which provides opportunities for patients and their caregivers to participate in art while they are hospitalized or receive chemotherapy on an outpatient basis.

Support cancer research

Gifts to Feist-Weiller Cancer Center may be designated to support disease-specific research for breast cancer, prostate cancer, leukemia, etc.

Naming opportunities are available in the new Cancer Research Building being planned for the LSU Health Sciences Center campus. Research laboratories, research focus areas, conference rooms, auditoriums, as well as the building itself may be named for gifts at appropriate levels.

The state of Louisiana provides matching funds for professorships at various levels.
