The Wright Center for Patient & Community Engagement will help patients of the Wright Center for Community Health experiencing financial hardship pay their electric utility bills through a $15,000 grant from the Robert H. Spitz Foundation.
Working alongside clinical care teams, community health workers can connect patients experiencing hardships to a variety of resources. Community health workers identify patients who may need assistance through the Patient Community Resource Tool. Eligible individuals may receive up to $150 paid directly to their utility provider.
