Removing Financial Barriers to Care
When you receive a medical diagnosis, it often comes with unexpected expenses. Medication, transportation, adaptive equipment and even groceries for special dietary needs can quickly add up, placing stress on patients already facing difficult circumstances. Patient Assistance Programs at LHSC provide relief when finances become a barrier to care. These programs offer support so patients can focus on what matters most—their health.
