North Coast Health Ministry of Lakewood, a free clinic serving the low-income uninsured of greater Cleveland, is offering assistance to community members wanting to apply for public assistance programs through The Ohio Benefit Bank.
The Ohio Benefit Bank, implemented through a public-private partnership between the Ohio Association of Second Harvest Foodbanks, the State of Ohio and more than 1,100 faith-based and community organizations throughout Ohio, is an Internet-based program that assists residents in accessing federal public assistance funds through multiple agencies and organizations.
“It is our job as a free clinic to help our patients get access to all forms of assistance for which they are eligible,” said NCHM Executive Director Lee Elmore. “If someone is eligible for Medicaid, for instance, it’s our responsibility to assist them with their application so that they can get the benefits to which they are entitled.
“Our Ohio Benefit Bank counselors can help them through the process, and, in many cases, help them access a range of other supports that positively impact their health, such as food, prescription and utility assistance.”
For more information or to schedule an appointment with a counselor, call (216) 228-7878.

 With all the debate over national health care reform, it helps to put a face on the people who comprise the growing ranks of the uninsured.
Spend a little time at North Coast Health Ministry (NCHM), a free, faith-based clinic providing medical care to uninsured patients on Cleveland's West Side, and you'll find, for example, that most of those without health coverage have jobs. But they either are not provided with employer-sponsored medical benefits or they don't earn enough to purchase coverage on their own.
