Extend-A-Hand

Covering the Cost of Vital Prescriptions

When a patient can't afford the medication that keeps them out of the ER, Extend-A-Hand steps in. Your gift covers the cost of essential prescriptions for patients facing poverty, no insurance, or deductibles they simply can't meet. Each year more than 2,200 prescriptions are covered thanks to supporters of Extend-A-Hand.

Hand Up For Health

Covering What Insurance Won't

Sometimes the thing standing between a patient and a healthier life isn't a diagnosis, it's a gap insurance doesn't fill. Hand Up for Health covers the everyday goods and short-term services that make a real difference but fall outside what a policy will pay for.

The Way Station: Health & Hygiene Center

Health & Hygiene for People Experiencing Homelessness

For people without a home, something as basic as a hot shower can be out of reach, and The Way Station meets that need and so many others: medical care, behavioral health support, and a place to be treated with dignity.
