The Compassionate Care Fund provides short-term relief to uninsured and financially burdened patients facing urgent needs that can delay hospital discharge or recovery at home. This support can mean the difference between affording medication or paying for groceries, utilities, or transportation.

Many UMC families already face limited resources, challenges that worsen when illness or injury strikes. When a patient is the primary income provider, hospitalization can severely impact a household’s stability. The Compassionate Care Fund helps bridge this gap, offering assistance with essentials like food, medical supplies, prescriptions, co-pays, and more.

Each patient’s story is different, but all share the need for help meeting life’s most basic needs while undergoing treatment. By easing financial burdens, this fund allows patients to focus on healing while social workers connect them to long-term support.
