Caring for Seniors
Mills-Peninsula created Senior Focus in 1985 to help seniors protect their independence, provide education on how to stay healthy and offer services to assist when challenges arise. More than 25 years later, Senior Focus has matured into a trusted resource for families and a highly regarded partner and advisor for local agencies and organizations.
Representing the best current thinking about healthful aging, Senior Focus serves as educator, service provider and advocate for elders both in the hospital and at home in the community.
Caring for Those in Need
At Mills-Peninsula Medical Center, our mission is to enhance our patients’ health. We understand that many in our communities struggle to pay for their healthcare. Mills-Peninsula’s Financial Assistance Program helps qualified patients who are unable to pay for medically necessary services they have received.
