We are a healthcare assistance program for the qualified uninsured residents of Richmond and Columbia Counties. Private practicing physicians have agreed to see patients in their offices free of charge. Four hospitals in Richmond County are also participating by providing x-ray, lab, diagnostic testing, inpatient and outpatient services free of charge; those are Doctors Hospital, St. Joseph Hospital, University Hospital and Walton Rehabilitation Hospital. Prescription drugs are also available through the program for a $5 co-pay per prescription. However, the prescription must be written by a Project Access physician and not all drugs are covered.
