The Palmer Family is establishing the Gretchen Palmer Patient Assistance Fund through the St. Luke’s Wood River Foundation to assist patients in need. The fund will support Wood River Valley patients fighting cancer and other serious illnesses.
Many patients experience financial challenges while receiving the medical care they need. Even with health insurance, most people will have numerous out-of-pocket costs. “Gretchen’s Fund” will assist patients and their immediate families with expenses such as transportation, lodging, utilities, groceries, medications, medical supplies, and other items deemed necessary.
“The assistance provided by the Gretchen Palmer Patient Assistance Fund will help ease the stress of patients and families facing medical challenges and give them the ability to focus on their health and well-being,” commented Megan Tanous, Chief Development Officer for St. Luke’s Wood River Foundation.
