North Whidbey Medical Help fund
North Whidbey Medical Help is a fund that is administered by Help House. This donor-driven fund is to assist people in the 98277 zip code with short-term costs associated with medical/dental needs.
The fund can help pay co-pays for prescriptions, limited dental costs and other health related issues. Since this program will only exist until the funds are gone, at this time, we have put a $500 a year limit on assistance.
If you would like more information, please contact us, during normal working hours, at 360-675-0681. If you would like to make a donation to the fund, you can do so through our website or send a check to us at 1091 SE Hathaway Street, Oak Harbor, WA 98277 and be sure to include "the donation is for NWMH" in the memo line.
