Health District expands financial eligibility
Local residents with household incomes up to 250 percent of the Federal Poverty Guidelines will now be eligible for the Health District’s Prescription Assistance Program and low-cost counseling services provided by the Connections program.
This translates to an income of $57,625 for a family of four. Eligibility for both services was formerly limited to those earning 200 percent or less of the Federal Poverty Guidelines.
