Our partnering healthcare providers always make decisions with respect to the dignity, privacy, desires, and choices of the patient and family. Services are appropriate, flexible and sufficient in scope to meet the needs of each patient.
Our model is simple. We partner with healthcare providers who donate an average of 67% of their customary billing to our patients. This is key to our model, healthcare providers’ willingness to help those in need. Our healthcare access model is unique because we work within for-profit healthcare clinics. This model allows us to leverage our donations to over $6.32 in healthcare provided for every $1.00 donated in direct patient services.
Eligibility For Care
Those who are low income and medically underserved and live within Magna, West Valley City, and Kearns, Utah are eligible for our Base Program. This includes those who cannot afford medical care covered by traditional insurance carriers, and who are not eligible for Medicaid. Our mobile medical unit travels to Community Based Organizations within the vicinities of Salt Lake and Tooele Counties, and provides free healthcare access to culturally disparaged populations who already have the trust of a Community Base Organization.
