Close the Year with Compassion. Help a Neighbor Heal.
A patient may be ready to leave the hospital but still wonder: How will I pay for my medication, get to my next appointment, or put food on the table while I recover?
Your year-end gift to the Compassionate Care Fund helps UMC patients facing financial hardship afford the essentials they need during treatment and recovery. 100% of your donation stays in El Paso, supporting UMC patients right here in our community.
Why your gift matters
An unexpected illness or injury can mean missed work and lost income just as new expenses begin to pile up. When the person in the hospital is also the one paying the household bills, even a prescription co-pay or a ride to a follow-up appointment can be hard to afford.
The Compassionate Care Fund provides short-term assistance to uninsured patients and others facing financial hardship. Your gift helps cover urgent needs that can delay discharge or make recovery at home more difficult, while UMC social workers connect patients with longer-term support.
What your gift can help provide
- Prescriptions and co-pays so patients can access the medications they need.
- Medical supplies so patients have what they need to continue their care at home.
- Transportation to help patients get to follow-up appointments.
- Groceries, utilities, and other essentials to help households manage immediate expenses during recovery.
