This fund supports the many needs of our patients that go beyond our walls. Your donation will benefit those that struggle with things many of us take forgranted every day - paying for gas to get to appointments, or having somewhere to sleep at night

Story

The costs for a family dealing with a chronically-ill loved one go far beyond physician co-pays and prescription medications. These patients are often struggling to pay for travel expenses to frequent doctor visits, and unexpected, yet necessary, medical equipment not covered by their insurance, such as Digital Scales and Blood pressure cuffs which are essential to most patients, especially patient's with Heart Failure, and they are not covered by most insurance companies.

Patients should never have to forego an appointment because they cannot afford the costs associated with traveling to a physician's office or be embarrassed that they can't purchase needed supplies.Thanks to the generosity of Marc Ford's family, who started this fund in his memory, there is now a resource to help patients with these expenses. Your donation to this fund will provide assistance to these patients and families as they shoulder the burden of these additional costs.
