The Extend-A-Hand program at Unity Care NW is a safety net for when everything else has been exhausted. When a patient is unable to afford their prescriptions, UCNW's team works with them through every available option first. The program also helps patients who are between insurances or need a one-time prescription that their plan won't cover.
