Helping Patients in Need

Many of our patients experience financial challenges while receiving the medical care they need to become well again. Even with health insurance, most people will have numerous out-of-pocket costs, such as co-pays, medications, insurance premiums, and more. The costs can quickly become an overwhelming burden.

Vail Health’s Patient Assistance Funds can help those in need with non-medical expenses, such as mortgage or rent payments, utility bills, car payments or repairs, groceries, etc. This short-term assistance can help put their minds and hearts at ease, giving them the ability to focus on what is most crucial—restoring their health and well-being.

We offer three funds:

• Vail Health Patient Assistance Fund: To apply or learn more, contact us at patientassistancefund@vailhealth.org or (970) 479-7283.
