On April 1, 2010, the for-profit Carle Clinic Association and the non-profit Carle Foundation Hospital merged into one non-profit health care organization. The merger resulted in new payment policy changes and increased access to medical services for many residents of Champaign County. Here at CCHCC, we are working hard to increase awareness about the changes and help individuals medical debt or who are no serviced know about how the merger may affect their access to health care services. Please check out our easy to read handout on the Carle merger and how our Consumer Health Hotline can help you!
