The money raised through our 2023 Blue Jeans and BBQ supported our Community Paramedic Program and Patient Assistance Fund.

Many of our patients and their caregivers experience financial challenges while receiving the medical care they need to heal. Medical costs can quickly become an overwhelming burden. UNC Health Nash Foundation’s Patient Assistance Funds can help individuals and families in need with expenses related to their health. Such as medications, medical equipment, nutrition supplements, transportation assistance, clothing, home necessities, etc. This short-term assistance can help put their minds and hearts at ease, giving them the ability to focus on what is most crucial-restoring their health and well-being

Thanks to donors, the Foundation has provided funds that have allowed for the increase of one fulltime Community Paramedic to FOUR fulltime and purchase of two additional vehicles.

Thanks to this staffing increase the number of patients enrolled has gone from 75 in January 2022 to 225 in March 2023. Visits increased from 110 a month to 540 a month.
