At Vancouver Home Health Care Agency, our commitment is rooted in caring and compassion, ensuring that your well-being remains at the heart of what we do. In line with this commitment, we are thrilled to announce that our Portland office is currently accepting 10 pro bono patients. This initiative is designed to extend our high-quality home health care services to those who might otherwise face barriers in accessing essential health support.

Bridging the Gap in Healthcare Access
Access to healthcare is a fundamental right, yet many individuals and families face obstacles due to financial hardship or lack of insurance. According to the Kaiser Family Foundation, over 31 million people in the U.S. were uninsured in 2020, creating significant healthcare disparities, especially among underserved communities. Our pro bono program aims to address these disparities by providing crucial home health services to those in need.

The Importance of Pro Bono Services
Pro bono healthcare services have been shown to have a significant impact on community health. A study by the American Medical Association highlights that free medical services improve health outcomes and diminish the strain on emergency services, which often become the default healthcare provider for uninsured individuals. By offering pro bono services, we not only improve individual health outcomes but also contribute to a healthier community overall.

Services Offered
Our pro bono program at the Portland office will mirror the comprehensive care that all our patients receive. This includes:

  • Skilled Nursing Care: Our registered nurses provide a range of medical services, including wound care, injections, and IV therapy.
  • Personal Care Assistance: We help patients with activities of daily living (ADLs) such as bathing, dressing, and meal preparation to ensure their comfort and safety at home.
  • Physical and Occupational Therapy: Tailored rehabilitation programs help patients regain strength and independence after surgery or illness.
  • Chronic Disease Management: Specialized care for patients with conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, and COPD, focusing on education and self-management.
  • Pediatric Care: Compassionate care tailored for our younger patients to support their unique health needs.

How to Apply
If you or someone you know could benefit from our pro bono services, we encourage you to reach out. The application process is straightforward. Contact our Portland office directly through our website contact page, or call us at (503) 360-0464 to speak with our intake coordinator. We will guide you through the eligibility criteria and help you get started.

Why We Do It
Our decision to offer pro bono services stems from our core belief that everyone deserves access to quality healthcare. The World Health Organization states that universal health coverage is a key component of sustainable development. By stepping up to offer free services, we hope to contribute to this global goal and inspire other healthcare providers to do the same.

Community Impact
The impact of such initiatives goes beyond immediate health benefits. By supporting underserved populations, we contribute to reducing long-term healthcare costs and improving the overall quality of life in our community. According to the National Institutes of Health, providing preventive and continued care can significantly reduce hospital admissions and improve chronic disease outcomes.

Join Our Mission
At Vancouver Home Health Care Agency, we believe in the power of community and collaboration. We invite local businesses, non-profits, and individuals to join us in this mission. Whether through volunteering, donations, or simply spreading the word, every bit of support helps us reach those in need.
