FHA will assign a Personal Health Advocate who will help with healthcare needs and also refer you to other available community resources.

Services are based on a sliding-fee scale, and free self-help information is provided. FHA offers a free ScoreHealth screening for cholesterol, blood pressure, and heart risk factors, and for prescription reimbursements of 50% of your cost up to $100 (maximum). FHA also assist with applications to patient assistance programs for free medications.

Fees:  Services are based on a sliding-fee scale, called your co-pay. Co-pay levels range from 0% (co-pay of $5 per visit) to 80% of the bill, depending on your income. You will need to provide any changes in your income or household size. You will be responsible for your own health care. Your doctor and Personal Health Advocate will assist you as needed.

The Franklin Resource Network

The mission of the Franklin Resource Network is to maximize resources in our community, enabling elders, people with disabilities, caregivers, and all residents to easily find information about, and gain access to, services and opportunities to contribute their gifts and talents.

This project is funded, in part, by an Aging and Disability Resource Center grant from the federal Administration on Aging and Center for Medicare and Medicaid services.
