The Summit Foundation

          RMRH has been awarded a $7,500 grant from The Summit Foundation.  These funds will be used in 2016 to provide client navigation services and non-emergency transport to residents of the Fairplay / Alma area.  Navigation involves assisting people in finding health care providers, medical services and durable medical equipment.  RMRH navigators also help client understand their mandated health care benefits provided by the Affordable Care Act.  They can also help the uninsured find an affordable health insurance plan.  The non-emergent medical transport program provides clients assistance getting to doctor appointments and treatment or diagnostic appointments out of Park County.  Four those who are unable to drive themselves, mileage reimbursement will be available.
