Since Project Access was founded in 2003, physicians, patients and the community are seeing the impact of the program. Over 3,500 patients have been served by Project Access, resulting in over $24 million in donated charity care. Don’t just take our word for it – see what peer physicians are saying about Project Access:

- "Project Access provides care to people who need it and can't access it. They try to identify those people that truly need the care and can be helped. Their careful attention to detail and review has helped to sort and find the people who are most needy of care."
- "Project Access allows me to provide charity care in a way that gives me resources."
- "As a physician, the biggest benefit of being a Project Access volunteer is the satisfaction of knowing that as a medical community we're providing comprehensive medical care for everyone in the community who's willing to go out and seek it."
- "I think volunteering with Project Access is a way for physicians to give something to the community without having to put out a whole bunch of extra time outside the office."
- "I think for the most part I kind of consider volunteering for Project Access as a part of my commitment to the community. Charity care is part of the job."
- With Project Access, there is "one standard of care," Fairchild said, not a two-tiered system based on socioeconomics or what insurance the patient has. "The nice thing about Project Access is that we don't have to worry about financial concerns. We have already decided to forgive payment."
"We have to triage," said Fairchild, citing low government reimbursement rates for health care. "If we just saw Medicaid patients, we'd go under."
Project Access, he said, "allows us to put aside these difficult political issues" and do our best for patients.
