Field Health Programs

“How we can help you”

The Funds has staff in 12 offices that are located in the coalfields. There are nurses, social workers and In-Field Beneficiary Representatives to help you in many ways.

Our staff offers opportunities for you to receive valuable services. All of these services are free of charge to you.
