Assistance Programs

Living life to the fullest means taking in the beautiful sights and sounds the world has to offer. At the Union County Health Department, we want to help people see and hear the joy around them. Through the support and help of partners, we offer financial assistance for eye exams, eye glasses, hearing exams & hearing aids. These programs are possible because of the generous support of the, VSP Eyes of Hope, the Marysville Evening Lions Club & Maze Hearing & Balance.

Eye Glasses

Eye glasses & eye exams are available to children & adults through a number of programs. The VSP Eyes for Hope program helps provide vision screening and eye glasses, if needed, to income eligible children without vision insurance. For income eligible Union County adults, a vision screening, and if needed, refurbished eyeglasses can be provided through a long standing partnership with the Marysville Evening Lions Club.

Prescription Assistance

The Union County Health Department provides short term assistance for people in need of prescription medication. Through funding from the United Way of Union County the Health Department is able to help residents with prescribed medication. The United Way funding is generally used for “non-maintenance” medications. We help one time every twelve months up to $125. An appointment is needed for this assistance program.
