Neighbor to Neighbor saves community $500,000 in medical expenses

Over 1600 people benefited from the services of the Neighbor to Neighbor program last year.  Executive Director Ann Bennett says nearly two hundred more people utilized the services provided by Neighbor to Neighbor in 2021 than in 2020.  She says the savings realized by those who were served through the medical equipment loan program, peer companion/respite care programs, and the Lemonade Club was in excess of $500,000.

 

 

The Lemonade Club is a monthly support group for cancer survivors and patients.  Bennett credits the volunteers who share their time and talent to positively impact the community.  Neighbor to Neighbor’s main equipment location is Sturgeon Bay, with satellite sites in Northern Door near Fish Creek, and on Washington Island.
