Whether we are providing diapers for a struggling single mother going home with her newborn baby, medication for a fixed-income senior citizen being discharged from the hospital, or a new wig for a cancer patient undergoing harsh treatments, the Patient Care Fund allows us to go above and beyond to provide not only outstanding health care treatment, but also a level of care that preserves the dignity of the people we serve. |
