Patient Financial Assistance:

Lakeside Memorial Hospital is committed to providing "Quality Care Close to Home" to every person(s) in our community, regardless of their ability to pay. It is this philosophy that helps guide Lakeside as a not-for-profit health care system.

If you do not have health insurance, or think you may not be able to pay in full for your care provided by Lakeside Memorial Hospital, we can help. Lakeside provides financial aid to patients based on their income, assets, and needs. In addition, we may be able to help you obtain free or low-cost health insurance, or work with you to establish a manageable payment plan. Together, we will determine how you can best arrange to pay for your care.

We are required to seek full payment for services provided to patients, so it is very important you let us know if you will have trouble paying your bill. If we are unaware of your financial difficulty, we may turn unpaid bills over to a collection agency, which could affect your credit status.

For more information on Lakeside Memorial Hospital's Financial Assistance Program, please contact our billing office at 395-6095 ext.4336, Monday through Friday between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m.

We look forward to working with you to assure a positive health care experience.
