Uncompensated Care

• Aultman Hospital participates in community health fairs and screenings.
• We offer free blood-pressure checks throughout the year.
• The Sharon Lane Health Information Center provides a wealth of health resources for patients, their families and community members.
• More than 100 free "Health Talk" educational presentations are available each year.
• Our free PrimeTime Seniors and 5-0 Programs offer everything from assistance with understanding medical bills to a variety of wellness programs.
