Fresno Medical Help Center Anticipates Cuts to Budget

The Fresno Health Consumer Center -- which helps low-income residents sign up for insurance coverage, navigate the health system and obtain assistance with medical issues -- expects its budget to be reduced by more than 50% when grant money runs dry in three months. The center is a member of the statewide Health Consumer Alliance, which serves about 12,000 individuals in 13 counties annually.
