Filling the gap for the uninsured

E.J. is 63, works part-time and lived without health care. Evelyn said, “I needed coverage and Access to Care took me in, I thank God for that.” Her ATC doctor informed her she was pre-diabetic. The initial plan was to put E.J. on medication, but as a dietary aide with years of experience she wanted to see what she could do on her own. Eight months later, through encouragement from her doctor, increased exercise and changes in eating habits Evelyn lost 50 pounds! E.J. took charge of her own health with the help of her ATC doctor. Together they monitor her blood work and have managed to keep her off medications for pre-diabetes. E.J. said, “I wouldn’t have made it without Access to Care, determination and my doctor’s help.”

Patient
A current member shared that he has been without medical coverage for more than 12 months, and instead visited the emergency room for asthma and the flu. Often he would not fill prescriptions because they “cost too much and I don’t have enough income after paying rent, utilities, and food.” Since joining ATC he has been diagnosed with high blood pressure, and asthma which have been managed through regular doctor visits and affordable prescription medications. He said, “(Access to Care) kept me with my meds, it’s been a real help. I’ve been really sick and can’t afford hospital bills or medicine which is needed daily because I did not have health care because my part-time work did not offer coverage.”

“Access to Care is better than giving free service or care. It places philanthropy in an organized, funded, controlled environment.”
