Care for Those in Need

Lend a Hand

Give good help to people who are struggling

Nobody should have to choose between paying their bills or getting medical care and medications

Our assistance programs help people get the health care services they need, even if they don’t have insurance or the ability to pay

Patient Assistance Programs  

Funds that support patient needs are just one way we improve the health and well-being of our communities and bring good help to those in need, especially to those who are poor, dying and underserved. Each of our Foundations offers donors the opportunity to support local patient assistance funds to help people in that community, and sometimes even at a specific hospital.

Patient assistance programs help people who qualify based on financial need to get free or low-cost medications, medical equipment, transportation, co-pays or cost of doctor visits, food or groceries and other types of assistance that help patients continue to heal outside of the hospital. While the type of help available through patient assistance programs varies from location to location, what remains the same is the life-saving and life-changing impact your gift will have on someone who is struggling.

BSMH Employee Assistance: Caring For Our Own Fund

Another way we care for those in need is offering a helping hand to our own Bon Secours Mercy Health associates when they face a crisis situation that challenges their finances. Thanks to donations for the Caring For Our Own fund, we can ensure every member of our team is ready to care for you and your family too.

Global Emergency Response

The Global Emergency Response fund provides emergency relief that protects the vulnerable across the world. Donations to this fund assist BSMH's Global Ministries team in responding to natural and human-led disasters and in promoting peace globally.

We depend on generous, compassionate donors to provide shelter, food and essential medical supplies that directly help the poor and vulnerable. Thanks to donations, Global Ministries has partnered with disaster relief organizations to provide aid for emergencies in Ukraine, the Holy Land, Haiti, Peru, South Sudan and other countries. And with your help, our Global Ministries team will have the resources to quickly respond to future crises.

The Global Emergency Response fund is vital for initiatives that reduce the number of people affected by disasters by focusing on those in vulnerable situations. These initiatives also ensure support is continuous, from initial response through recovery. This fund is rooted in the legacy of BSMH's Founding Sisters and follows the principles of Catholic Social Teaching to protect the vulnerable globally.

Donors care for the poor and vulnerable around the world

Esly’s heart condition was severe enough to require surgery. But in her native Honduras, such a procedure is expensive, rare and even dangerous. Bon Secours Mercy Health Foundation donors support Global Ministries to care for the poor and vulnerable regardless of geography. Thanks to this support, Esly’s heart is now repaired and full of gratitude for the tremendous gift she received.
