Mark Twain Medical Center takes a comprehensive approach to improving community health, including not only inpatient, outpatient and emergency medical care, but also a range of prevention and health improvement programs delivered alongside community partners, financial grants to non-profit organizations, and investments in efforts that address the social determinants of health.<\/p>\n

Dignity Health provides emergency medical care and medically necessary care in our hospital facilities to all patients, without regard to a patient\u2019s financial ability to pay. Our hospitals have a financial assistance policy that describes the assistance provided to patients for whom it would be a financial hardship to fully pay the expected out-of-pocket expenses for such care, and who meet the eligibility criteria. The financial assistance policy, a plain language summary and related materials are available in multiple languages on the hospitals\u2019 websites.<\/p>\n

More information about Dignity Health\u2019s financial assistance policy at MTMC, including who is eligible to receive assistance, can be found here, and general information about our hospitals can be found here.<\/p>\n
