During 2010, individual health care professionals – doctors, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, physical therapists and others – around the Upper Peninsula volunteered to provide more than $860,370 in medical care services for uninsured adults enrolled in Access Coalition programs. These valuable contributions were part of more than $7.3 million in coordinated care and donated medications leveraged by the Coalitions to serve more than 4,000 U.P. residents in need of health care.
