The Patient Care Fund provides up to $500 per patient of support for everyday needs that go beyond medical care, helping to close gaps—especially when it comes to basic necessities that affect comfort and quality of life.

This fund ensures that patients facing financial hardship never go without the essentials that support daily living and overall well-being. It helps cover vital non-medical needs—items and services that aren’t reimbursed but make life safer, easier and more comfortable, such as:

• Assistance with utility bills to keep the heat on during winter nights
• Grab bars or safety equipment to prevent falls at home
• A wheelchair or mobility aid not otherwise affordable
• Groceries to ensure access to meals
