Do you find yourself asking questions like these?

About your health

  • Why can’t I get a doctor’s  appointment?
  • Who’s the best doctor for me?
  • How will I get to my appointment?

About your home and life

  • Where can I get free and reduced food?
  • How can I get social and emotional support?
  • How can I feel safe and happy at home?

Taking care of yourself is not *just* about going to the doctor.

  • It’s about knowing which doctor to see — and being able to get an appointment.
  • It’s about having a reliable ride to and from your appointments.
  • It’s about getting the medications you need to manage your health.
  • And it’s about getting access to healthy foods, a safe place to live and strong support systems.
