JCH is going the extra mile

This qualifies as going the extra mile.
Jay County Hospital is hooking up with a company called ClaimAid.
Its purpose: To help people enroll in a health insurance plan.
Everyone knows that the rollout of the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare, has been less than perfect. It has improved dramatically after its first few stumbling months. But it’s still a challenge.
That’s when a local helping hand from Jay County Hospital could make a difference.
As hospital chief executive officer David Hyatt pointed out last week there are options available now for folks to get insurance, “but sometimes taking the next step is a problem.”
Hyatt and the hospital’s board of trustees believe ClaimAid is a creative, local, cost-effective way to help area residents and their families take that step.
Will it be a panacea? Of course not.
But it is a meaningful step in the right direction.
And it qualifies as going the extra mile. — J.R.
