As part of our commitment to 100% access to healthcare and 100% coverage, Ascension Health serves as a voice for the voiceless by using our ideas, influence and actions to advocate for people who are poor and vulnerable.
46.3 million Americans do not have health insurance coverage. Ascension Health finds that number a national disgrace. Through local and national initiatives and critical partnerships, we are committed to making the system work and improving the health of the communities we serve.
At Ascension Health, we are proud of the work we are doing to ensure our patients receive the care they need. In fact, in 2008 Ascension Health’s hospitals and other health facilities treated, on average, one uninsured patient approximately every 34 seconds, every day.
