Patient Support Program

We understand that it can be hard to cope with a chronic illness. You may experience fear, confusion, frustration, or anger. These emotions can prevent you from making the best decisions for your physical well-being. This is why we have a Patient Support Program.

Our Patient Support Coordinators will identify public and private programs and services that may be of benefit to you. Our goal is to connect patients and their loved ones with services that will make life a little easier–emotionally, socially, and financially.

Whether you are newly diagnosed with a chronic illness or were diagnosed years ago, our coordinators are ready to help. Common areas of assistance include:

• Providing educational materials that explain the patient’s disease and how it develops;
• Referring patients to support programs and services designed for people using a particular medication or drug therapy;
• Identifying peer support groups and other programs which may provide emotional support;
• Completing a “Benefits Check Up” screening, which lists state and federally-funded programs under which the patient may be eligible for assistance; and
• Locating community social service programs that may assist with living necessities such as shelter, clothing, food, and transportation.
