Since 2017, Touchstone Foundation, formerly known as LOHF (Lancaster Osteopathic Health Foundation) has worked to improve access to mental and behavioral health services for children, youth, and families in Lancaster County. 

In 2023, we are announcing our Mental Health Access Assistance program. The purpose is still the same: provide monetary assistance to youth, children, and parents of dependent children (ages 0-25) who live in Lancaster County and have financial need. To qualify for the program the household income may not exceed 250% of the Federal Poverty Level. Patients must have commercial insurance and re-enroll with us each year so that we can verify their income eligibility.

We will cover costs up to $40 per visit (towards copay or deductible) to a licensed behavioral healthcare provider.

Thanks to the generosity of our donors, Touchstone Foundation continues this vital program to help youth (and parents of dependent children) in need of mental health copay assistance. Our ability to expand the program to cover copays and deductibles is made possible by the generous grant from The Steinman Foundation.
