As a former personal injury lawyer and, and later as a Judge of the District Court, I was aware that persons suffering from major illnesses required considerable assistance in coordinating and meeting their medical needs. I decided to contact MADDA for support and guidance of my brother [Frank, diagnosed with an aggressive form of mesothelioma in late 2025].

MADDA’s nurse-led support service provided invaluable assistance to my brother, his wife, and myself during the difficult time of Frank’s illness. Their compassion, guidance, and advocacy removed much of tour anxiety as we navigated the various arms of medical services. 

MADDA continues to be available to provide support to Frank’s wife following his death.
