Robert

Although his surgery for colon cancer had been successful, Robert’s part time job didn’t include access to health insurance. “I just didn’t know how I’d survive.” This gifted, native Arlingtonian, who attended Berklee College of Music and the New England Conservatory of Music before carving out a niche in the New York music scene, had returned to Arlington several years ago to care for his elderly parents. Cancer was not in the plan. But as an AFC patient, Robert received timely access to the cancer treatment he needed. “They didn’t just take me in. They embraced me. The Clinic saved my life.”
