The Western Carolina Medical Society (WCMS) has launched an Emergency Medical Needs Fund to provide immediate relief and life-saving care to those affected. WCMS Is a regional nonprofit committed to improving healthcare access through WNC. Medical professionals are working tirelessly on the frontlines, but we need your help to ensure that we have the resources to meet the overwhelming need.

2. Assist uninsured and underinsured patients in accessing necessary treatments

3. Provide Durable Medical Equipment (wheelchairs, walkers, oxygen, blood sugar monitoring devices, etc) to those in need

4. Address social determinants of health (food insecurity, shelter, basic needs)

Every dollar counts. Your generosity will directly impact the health and recovery of those in our community who need it most. Together, we can bring hope, healing, and critical medical care to those affected by this disaster.
