No one should skip a prescription to pay the electricity bill. We work for care that is affordable, nearby and treats people with dignity.
Where people fall through
One in seven adults in our region delayed care last year because of cost. In rural counties, the nearest maternity ward can be more than an hour away.
What we support
- Caps on out-of-pocket costs for insulin and other essential medicines.
- Community health workers in every public housing development.
- Telehealth parity, so a video visit is covered like an in-person one.
- Keeping rural clinics open with shared staffing and mobile services.
Health navigators
Our trained volunteers help residents compare plans, appeal denied claims and find free clinics. It is unglamorous work, and it is some of the most valuable we do.
