Charitable care
"When we die, all we have to take with us is what we have given away."
We recognize that there are limits to how much people can invest in
health care. Working together, the people of Aurora are determined not only to
provide services of the highest quality, but also to make those services
affordable and accessible to every person in every community we serve.Aurora Health Care provides a growing amount of charity care for people who are uninsured or are otherwise unable to pay for the care they need. In 2009, Aurora provided a total of $162 million in uncompensated care. Aurora also provided an additional $32 million in community benefits through programs such as Aurora Parish Nurse Program, Aurora Walker’s Point Community Clinic, and Aurora Family Service.
