Benevolence
Charitable Needs Fund
Provides for the health and well-being of uninsured / unfunded patients at GRMC
Cancer Assistance Fund
The Cancer Assistance Fund provides for the needs of cancer patients that qualify for charity infusion chemotherapy at Guadalupe Regional Medical Center. We feel strongly that even those patients that are uninsured and unfunded should still have access to the curative cancer treatments that GRMC provides.
Guadalupe Clinic
Guadalupe Clinic provides primary care for unfunded patients who suffer from chronic disease such as diabetes or hypertension. The clinic provides, one-on-one education, medication education and reconciliation and at-home disease management support to these patients.
Hospice Program
Our Hospice Fund defrays the cost of hospice care to patients and families not funded by Medicaid, Medicare or insurance. Hospice patients receive special end-of-life care in the comfort of familiar surroundings, at home or in their nursing home. Together, gifts, volunteers and a dedicated staff make hospice possible.
Palliative Care Program
Palliative care is specialized medical care for people with serious illnesses such as cancer, cardiac disease, COPD, kidney failure, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and many more. It focuses on providing patients with relief from the symptoms, pain, and stress of a serious illness—whatever the diagnosis. The goal is to improve quality of life for both the patient and the family. Gifts to our Palliative Care Program ensure that these services are available to all in our community.
Prescription Assistance Program (PAP)
The PAP helps those with low of fixed incomes obtain free medications for chronic medical conditions, such as diabetes or hypertension, stabilizing the health and improving the lives of approximately 1,000 area resident in need each year. Since the inception of PAP, the program has dispensed over $67 million worth of prescriptions to patients in need.
Betty Bartoskewitz Bereaved Parents
Memory boxes are an important part of many bereaved parents’ journey, since they are a special place for families to store meaningful items they have collected through their baby’s pregnancy, birth and in the years that follow. This fund allows us to provide these families with their own memory box when they have suffered a pregnancy loss.
