Thank you for giving.

Here in Brevard County, nearly 80,000 adults aged 18 to 65 find themselves in the “coverage gap,” earning too much to qualify for Medicaid yet struggling to make ends meet. The Compassionate Care Fund, in partnership with case managers, social workers and associates across the IDN, extends Guardian Angel Grants to eligible patients in need, providing assistance with transportation to appointments, prescription co-pays, medical equipment, and so much more.

Compassionate Care Fund

Meet Ed Beede. His journey embodies the profound impact of compassion in the face of adversity.

“In April 2024, I developed an aggressive lung infection that required two months of intensive treatment,” Ed shared while sitting beside his wife, Lynne. They relocated to Brevard County from New England seven years ago, drawn by the health benefits of the area’s climate.

“The cost of this treatment was beyond what our family could afford. Thanks to the Compassionate Care Fund, I received what we now believe was lifesaving treatment.” 

By designating your 2024 Associate Month of Giving donation to the Compassionate Care Fund, you provided critical assistance to Ed, covering his medication expenses and bridging the gap in his healthcare coverage. This lifesaving support was made possible by caring and compassionate individuals like you.

Your generosity can be seen by our colleagues who witness the transformative impact of Guardian Angel Grants for their patients.

Together, we illuminate a path of healing and hope for individuals like Ed.

Together we are helping goodness grow.
