In 2023, the Rotary Club of Wake Forest continued its impactful mission by successfully erasing the past-due medical debt of 26 members within the Wake Forest community who were grappling with financial challenges related to cancer treatments. This compassionate initiative builds upon the Club’s previous achievement in 2020 when $169,000.00 of past-due medical debt for residents was eliminated.

Benefits of the “Wake Forest Medical Debt Relief” initiative:
