We are healthier together!
Support Needed for Our ACHES & PAINS Program!
- The ACHES & PAINS program begain in 2005 as a temporary solution to offer access to care to people who are uninsured or underinsured and cannot afford it.
- 2,021 adults and children received 3,167 healthcare vouchers to support their medical, dental or mental health since 2015.
- Since January 2023, the Network has lost over $73,000 to cover healthcare vouchers and the work involved in managing the program.
- At the current rate, voucher usage in 2024 is forecasted to increase 80% over last year.
- We need $100,000 to keep up with the community’s increasing needs!
