Can I afford Wide Horizon?
It has been Wide Horizon’s pleasure and practice to work with families to recognize that fiduciary responsibility starts with turning to God. Let’s rejoice that divine Love’s provision for each of his children is complete. Some health insurance plans will cover a stay at Wide Horizon. Wide Horizon will work out a payment plan for any patient and requests for benevolence are considered on a case by case basis. The National Fund for Christian Science Nursing provides funding for care in select cases.
