Aurora Wellness Community Provides Neighborhood Care for Medicare and Medicaid Recipients/Aurora Wellness Community Continúa Brindando Atención de Vecindario

These programs continue to serve Aurora residents every day. What’s changing most is the paperwork, not the current state of care. Our job, as part of this community, is to help one another stay informed and supported so that no one delays the care they need out of fear or confusion. Sabemos que la confianza en el sistema de salud no se construye de la noche a la mañana: crece con la escucha, la empatía y la constancia. Crece cuando las personas ven rostros familiares detrás del mostrador, cuando las reciben en su idioma y cuando se van sintiéndose escuchadas y respetadas.
