Health & Medical

Health concerns are a top priority for many of the individuals and families we serve—whether it’s finding affordable care or simply needing someone to go with you to an appointment. We’re here to listen to your needs and connect you with the right resources, services, or support systems. 

Here are some of the most common health problems that our clients experience and how we help them… 

How We Can Help 

We offer support in a variety of ways, depending on your health needs: 

Accompaniment 

We’re here to walk alongside you through medical visits. That can include helping you schedule appointments, accompanying you to and from clinics, providing interpretation, and offering emotional support during the visit. For example, we frequently accompany individuals to mammograms and other important check-ups. 

Finding a Healthcare Provider or Clinic 

We’ll help you locate clinics and providers near your home and connect you with partner organizations that serve uninsured individuals or those in need of low-cost care. 

We also receive referrals from these trusted healthcare partners when their patients need additional support beyond medical care—such as help with housing, legal matters, emotional support, or navigating community resources.
