ROME GROUP
Who We Are
Gateway to Hope was founded by two physicians who were frustrated and angered by the circumstances in which many of their patients found themselves – delaying life-saving breast healthcare because of inability to pay. We are on a mission to champion change, removing barriers to timely, affordable, quality breast healthcare – empowering people to live full and healthy lives. For the last two decades, we’ve served thousands of women needing access to life-saving healthcare. And, we’re actively leading change efforts across the state, partnering with policy makers and sitting at the right tables where decisions about cancer care happen. We advocate for women and their families in some of the hardest times of their lives, and make sure they can thrive beyond it. Because of our work, thousands of women have better access to prevention and early detection care in Missouri. Thousands of women have reported better ability to cope with the challenges of treatment, better quality of life. And, the women we serve are four times less likely to skip medications and recommended healthcare – because of our services. This is just the beginning of our impact. We envision a world in which nobody has to endure the burden of a treatable disease like breast cancer. We have work to do.
The challenge we are solving Today in Missouri, and in much of the United States, a woman’s income, where she lives, and the color of her skin determines whether she will survive breast cancer. This is unacceptable, given the medical advancements of the last 30 years. We have curative treatments for 90+% of breast cancers. And yet, in some communities, the death rate is over 70%. Those communities most affected are rural, low-income, and women of color. The real issue at hand is not whether the treatments exist, it’s who has access to them. The mothers, sisters, daughters of our state and nation deserve better. Gateway to Hope is here to solve this issue. With our patient-centered and evidence based support programs, our research and policy work, we are addressing root causes and creating change for future generations, while helping women access care today. In order to truly reduce the death rate of women most affected by these issues, we need to deliver our programs at scale. This takes resources and energy that Gateway to Hope needs to build. We have momentum: we’ve doubled the number of patients served in the last 3 years, and will quadruple the number served by the end of 2025. But the work doesn’t end there. Our expansion goals are rooted in one simple principle: no woman should have to choose between life-saving healthcare, and putting food on the table. We are on a mission to make this a reality for ALL women – not just some.
