Every senior citizen deserves affordable healthcare. Yet, in Arizona, more than 100,000 are facing a healthcare crisis. In response, the AccessMed Foundation is on a mission to help low-income seniors access affordable healthcare.
The Senior
Healthcare Crisis
The majority of America’s seniors are poor and, in Arizona, more than 200,000 live on incomes of less than $1,600 per month.
In addition to limited income, Arizona’s seniors are confronted with declining health and the challenges of keeping a roof over their head and food on the table. For most, quality medical care seems unaffordable.
How ACCESSMed
Helps
ACCESSMed helps income challenged senior citizens identify and apply for low-cost and possibly no-cost healthcare benefits.
We provide Medicare and Medicaid education and counseling. And, as a community partner with AHCCCS (Arizona’s Medicaid agency), we offer Medicaid and SNAP (food stamp) assessments and enrollments.
ACCESSMed
Community Partners
Helping low-income seniors access affordable medical care can only happen through a community-wide effort. To make it happen, ACCESSMed partners with a wide variety of individuals and organizations.
