Indigent and Charity Care

 

For our neighbors who struggle to make ends meet as is, illness and injury can be especially catastrophic.

Indigent and charity care exemplifies our promise to never turn our backs on those who need us. It is one of the most fundamental ways we give back to the communities that have supported Tanner.

We provide indigent and charity care for individuals in our communities who could not otherwise afford care. Illnesses and injuries do not only befall the employed and well-insured. They also affect those for whom health has been too fragile to work, those who cannot find employment and those who can barely scratch together money for rent and utilities.

Being there for everyone in our community also means working with patients to collect what payment for services we can, while being sensitive to each family’s unique hardships.

Here, detail the ways we serve all our neighbors. The support of our community allows us to pursue this mission, to be there for everyone regardless of ability to pay.

If you’re looking for help affording your care, if you are uninsured or otherwise need financial assistance, our Patient Financial Assistant team is ready to help.

How Your Period Can Reveal Your Health Story
How Your Period Can Reveal Your Health Story

At Tanner Women’s Care, serving women throughout west Georgia and east Alabama with locations in Carrollton, Villa Rica and Wedowee, we hear common questions like, “Is my period normal? How often should it occur? When should I worry about irregular periods?” These concerns are valid and deserve clear answers close to home. Typically, a healthy menstrual cycle occurs every 21 to 35 days, lasts from three to seven days, and is accompanied by a flow that doesn’t interfere with daily life. But “normal” can vary — what truly matters is knowing your own rhythm and noticing when things change.
