Social Awarness Project: Find a true story about someone who changes the communtiy everyday.

In New York people get injured all the time. In New York City, there are over 70 hospitals. One of the top hospitals in the city is Bellevue Hospital. On average, between 3 and 500 people get admitted to Bellevue every week. Not everyone who gets admitted at a hospital can always pay the bill. Luckily at Bellevue there are options that can help you pay your bill. Medicad is one of those options. When given Medicad, a person can help you pay off most if not all of your bill if you show proof that you are struggling with the payments. One of these people who work with Medicad are Naimah Simmons, she is the associate director of finance. When asked about her job she says:
" I love my job, I am in charge of the staff who helps people figure out a way to pay their bill. If they cannot pay we figure out a way to help."

It's people like Naimah Simmons who help make the world better and healthier
