Claire was diagnosed with a hip fracture that never healed properly in January. The surgeon at Oakland Community Hospital recommended laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, and She is scheduled for March. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $8,000, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $6,050 short. my mother has been in and out of Oakland Community Hospital since January. The doctors say a hip fracture that never healed properly will get worse without laparoscopic endometriosis surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $8,000 is more than we can find. While we wait, Claire struggles with daily life and can't climb stairs. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 4 weeks. During that time Claire won't be able to climb stairs, so the costs keep growing. The money goes straight to the treatment bills, and I'll share the invoices as they're paid so you can see exactly what your gift did. Where the $6,050 goes: • Hospital stay (2 nights): $3,050 • Physiotherapy sessions: $370 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $290 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,340 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

    Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Claire

    • Olivia D. HolmesOwnerAnswer

      Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. hospital stay (2 nights) comes first ($3,050) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Good question.

  • Liam W. Fuller
