Who Is The Hospital Accountability Project?

The Hospital Accountability Project is a coalition of organizations working to improve hospital charity care policies and practices. These organizations are ACORN, Philadelphia Unemployment Project, Community Legal Services, and Pennsylvania Health Law Project (current site). The Hospital Accountability Project is funded thanks to a generous grant by Community Catalyst, a national organization dedicated to improving health care in local communities.

For more information about how you can help in the fight to require Pennsylvania hospitals to make charity care more available to people who need treatment, please contact the Philadelphia Unemployment Project at (215) 557-0822, or Philadelphia ACORN at (215) 765-0042.

If you have trouble qualifying for health insurance or free or low-cost care from your hospital, please contact Community Legal Services' Welfare Law Line at (215) 227-6485, or the Pennsylvania Health Law Project's Toll Free HelpLine at (800) 274-3258.
