The fund is the accumulation of gifts that benefits those who lack necessary financial resources for their treatment services. The gifts helps reduce the financial obligation many patients face because all PAF gifts are applied directly to patient accounts. Anyone who is concerned about the cost of a patient's care may ask Pine Rest's accounts manager or the outpatient clinic manager to apply for consideration for financial help. They look at each request in terms of a patient's insurance coverage, financial resources, and other criteria. Each outpatient clinic has its own PAF so locally-donated funds benefit people in that community.
Most individuals receiving help are in outpatient services.
Others benefiting from the fund are clients in the on-campus residential program and inpatients. For some, this can make the difference of whether or not they can use Pine Rest's services. With financial help from this fund and professional help from Pine Rest, these people can go on to lead more productive and happy lives. If possible, ask your place of employment to consider giving gifts to the Fund. Ask for and promote your church's participation and support for the Fund.
