How to apply for ECU Health Financial Assistance — Nearest Hospitals (Martin County)

ECU Health (regional hospital system serving Martin County after the 2023 closure of Martin General Hospital in Williamston).

Who it's for

Martin General Hospital in Williamston closed in August 2023, so Martin County no longer has a hospital of its own.

ECU Health offers charity care (financial assistance) for emergency and medically necessary care to patients who cannot afford to pay, with both income-based and non-income-based charity care. Apply through MyChart, by calling the Central Business Office, or by asking for a financial assistance application.
