What is Health Care Navigation?
One of our top priorities is health care navigation services. Our certified enrollment navigators work with community residents to determine eligibility and facilitate enrollment in state and federal programs, including ACA marketplace, Medicare/Medicaid Assistance Program, MDHHS Social Security, Prescription Drug Access, and Utility Assistance Programs.
Our staff answers 2-1-1 calls weekly from Albion residents to guide them to the services they need.

Addressing Albion's health concerns
Why is Albion Health Care Alliance asking for donations?
The Albion Health Care Center later renamed the Cram Medical Center, filled a void after the loss of Albion Community Hospital.
Each year the hospital would hold The Albion Hospital Ball, where Albion’s finest would dress up to dance and contribute to Albion’s caregiving facilities.
After Albion’s Hospital closed, the event was still held and renamed Albion’s Healthcare B.A.S.H.
Now, after COVID-19 we are asking for donations remotely.
We greatly appreciate your help that allows us to help those less fortunate.
Your donation helps us to address healthcare needs in Albion.
