We’re inspired by stories like this one from Pisgah Legal Services, highlighting how access to legal support can make a real difference in someone’s health and stability.

At WNCCHS, we often connect patients to trusted community resources like Pisgah Legal Services when legal needs — like housing, benefits, or safety — are affecting their health. This story is a powerful example of how addressing those needs can change lives.

Health is shaped by more than medical care alone, and we’re grateful for organizations like Legal Services that help support our community in meaningful ways.

Many of the patients we serve face financial barriers to care. That’s why WNCCHS works hard to secure funding —like grants — to help reduce the cost burden as much as possible.

In 2025, we received $4.27 Million in grant funding to support patient care and expand services across our community.
