Erin Hartung and Maddie Babel - Cancer Legal Care
05/03/2025


Erin Hartung, Director of Legal Services at Cancer Legal Care, and Maddie Babel, Development Manager at Cancer Legal Care, join host Ken Haglind on “Living Healthy and Aging Well” to discuss Cancer Legal Care’s services and answer the question, “why would I need an attorney on my cancer treatment team?” In the United States, 1 in 2 men and 1 in 3 women will be diagnosed with a cancer in their lifetime, and as a result many will face financial devastation known as “financial toxicity.” Cancer Legal Care aims to reduce financial toxicity and engages the law to resolve the complex issues facing people and communities affected by cancer. They help Minnesotans facing cancer, and their caregivers, with cancer-related issues like employment, estate planning, Social Security benefits, health insurance, and medical debt.
