To determine if a veteran qualifies as a TLC, we apply the following criteria:

• Provide a note, signed by a physician, with diagnosis and prognosis.

• A current diagnosis of cancer, in any organ system EXCEPT the prostate (unless extremely aggressive, rare forms) is considered terminal if the physician concurs.

• Acute Leukemia.

• Presently undergoing chemotherapy or radiation therapy for a cancerous condition OTHER THAN prostate cancer.

• Any other terminal condition that, according to the veteran’s private physician, is likely to limit the veteran’s life to 12 months or less. Again, the diagnosis and prognosis must be stated in a note signed by a physician.

If you are interested in learning more about the TLC program or to apply, please contact Honor Flight Philadelphia by email or by phone at (610) 662-1812.
