The mission of Project Access NOW is to improve the health and well-being of our communities by ensuring access to care, services, and resources for those most in need.
Community Assistance Many times, when low-income people are discharged from a hospital stay or emergency room visit, they face barriers that can stand in the way of their recovery. With the Community Assistance Program, we support discharge planners, social workers, and care managers to connect low-income patients to the resources they need for a safe discharge. These resources may include transportation, temporary housing, and medication assistance. Providence Health & Services has been our development partner with this initiative and Kaiser Permanente is also using this resource. The same structure is also being utilized by HealthShare as a way to support the non-medical needs of their Medicaid members.In the 2020 fiscal year, we provided 11,330 services (transportation, food, medications, and housing for safe hospital discharge).
Premium Assistance: we provided premium assistance to 737 individuals and 559 families in fiscal year 2020.
Project Access NOW classic / Donated Care Coordination Services Project Access NOW continues to work with safety net clinics, all of the health systems and most of the major specialty and multi-specialty clinics in the Portland Metro area to provide donated care to those who remain uninsured and who meet specific income guidelines. The majority are immigrants, documented and undocumented, who are unable to receive health insurance coverage under the Affordable Care Act or Medicaid expansion. As a result, access to care is even more challenging and expensive for this population than people before the ACA. The people we serve need Project Access NOW today, more than ever. There were 4,344 referrals which resulted in 3,460 completed services in fiscal year 2020.
