There are dozens of resources that can help you navigate and cover unpaid medical bills, co-pays and prescription costs. Please refer to the “resource links” to the left of this panel, and contact those services that relate to your  specific situation.

JMF serves as a “sweep up” fund, that helps Jamestown residents finish paying expenses after they  have exhausted other social services.
