Мы понимаем, что стоимость услуг здравоохранения может оказаться для вас тяжелым финансовым бременем в том случае, если вы не застрахованы или недостаточно застрахованы.
Если вы являетесь пациентом одной из наших больниц, возможно, вы имеете право на получение медицинских услуг бесплатно или по сниженной стоимости. Критерии участия в программах отличаются, но обычно они основываются на федеральном уровне бедности.
