At Care Resource, compassion transforms into action, changing lives every day. As a safety net for 1.5 million low-income, uninsured, and under-insured individuals in Miami-Dade and Broward counties, our mission is to enhance health and overall quality of life. A cornerstone of our commitment lies in our Emergency Assistance Fund, a lifeline ensuring that our most vulnerable patients and their families receive the critical support they need during difficult times.
In 2022, 33% (42,570) patient visits were dedicated to addressing critical unmet needs, including housing, food insecurity, transportation, and other urgent concerns. This figure underscores the profound impact our health center has in serving our community. It's crucial to note that 45% of our patients are uninsured, meaning they often delay seeking medical care while grappling with pressing issues in their lives. Even when these barriers are overcome, many of our patients still struggle to afford even a modest copay under our sliding fee scale.
Through your support, we address these needs and make it a priority to provide emergency assistance support. Your contribution truly changes lives and fosters a healthier, more resilient community.
Our Emergency Assistance Fund donation, provided by individuals like you, enables us to offer rental, mortgage, and utilities assistance to patients and families, allowing them to remain in their homes. We also offer healthcare round-trip rides from home to Care Resource, ensuring access to critical medical care. Additionally, we provide food, accompanied by nutritional services, from our Food for Life food pantry.
We invite you to make a direct impact on the lives of those in crisis. For every $36 donated, we can ensure a rapid round-trip ride for healthcare. A $170 donation purchases filled grocery bags that will make 42 meals for one person—16 days, or $85 for every 21 meals—7 days. A $1,000 donation becomes a lifeline that keeps a patient and their family securely housed.
Together, let's build a healthier community—one patient and one family at a time. Stand with Care Resource on Give Miami Day, and create a future where everyone can thrive
