Thousands
in our community face crippling debt to the Yale-New Haven Health System,
even though they may have qualified for free care.
Yale-New
Haven Hospital and Bridgeport Hospital have pursued aggressive debt-collection
practicesincluding liens, wage garnishments and foreclosureseven
though they have millions of dollars set aside for free care for patients
who can't pay.
The
Hospital Debt Justice Project is fighting for fair treatment and accountability
from our community hospitals.
If
you have suffered from unfair debt to
Yale-New Haven Hospital,
Yale School of Medicine,
Yale Diagnostic Radiology or
Bridgeport Hospital,
call 203 777-9880 or 800 478-0635
