Guthrie's Veteran Patient Assistance Fund provides financial support for a veteran or member of their immediate household struggling with a serious or chronic medical condition. During times of financial hardship, the Veteran Patient Assistance can help patients across the Guthrie network with direct financial support for household bills.

The Veteran Patient Assistance Fund was seeded in 2016 with a gift from the Sayre American Legion #283 and, since then, has received generous support from community donors like you. As a direct patient assistance fund, each $1 donated goes out as $1 dollar of support to a veteran.

Veterans in nine regional counties of Pennsylvania and New York representing service to every branch of the military have benefited from this fund. The Guthrie Veteran Patient Assistance Fund began accepting applications for financial support from patients in 2017 and has operated on the generosity of staff, provider, and community donations successfully since then supporting over 100 veteran requests for financial relief for housing, utilities, transportation, and medical supplies not covered by insurance.

What better way to thank a veteran for their service than to support them in a time of need with a gift to the Guthrie Veteran Patient Assistance Fund today.
