Allegany Community Access Program (CAP)


                Do you need health care, but can't afford it?

                               Allegany CAP may be able to help you.  Allegany CAP is a program for adults (ages 19-64) who do not have health insurance  or
                               whose health insurance does not pay all the bills.



                What services are available through Allegany CAP?

                               Allegany CAP does not provide direct care, but we can help you find services in
Allegany County.  You must be willing to share
                               information on your income, family size, etc. with Allegany CAP partners to use this service.  You may be eligible for some of the
                               following:
