How to Access
Crushing Medical Debt compiled this resource guide for Richmond, Virginia. Some resources are available statewide or nationwide, but are also available in the Richmond Area. This guide focuses on resources related to healthcare cost and accessibility and is not currently able to aid in other areas of need, such as housing.
There is a hyperlink on the image of the sheet (right). Clicking this will take you to the English sheet in Google Docs. Everyone can access the sheet, for free, regardless of affiliation with VCU or Crushing Medical Debt at VCU. There is a scannable QR code on the front of the sheet, allowing it to be printed and accessed anywhere. If you have difficulty accessing the sheet, please email Rebecca Gunnin at gunninrl@vcu.edu.
Notes and Limitations
Our sheet is currently only reliably available in English. Google Docs provides a free feature where you can translate into various languages, but the reliability and accuracy is not guaranteed. If you are interested in aiding in the translation of this document into another language, please contact Rebecca Gunnin at gunninrl@vcu.edu.
This sheet has been compiled by students in an effort to reduce healthcare disparities. Any mistakes or misrepresentations are unintentional and are fixed as we are made aware of them. Additionally, we do not represent any organizations listed on the sheet, and are providing information that is publically available. This sheet is still in-progress and is updated periodically. If you have resources or information you'd like to add, or correct any errors, please contact Rebecca Gunnin at gunninrl@vcu.edu.
