Hello!  I have a patient who was unable to pay her utility bill and requires electricity for a hoyer lift and bipap machine so was sent in to our ER.  Any leads on utility assistance?  She is living in Pierce county outside of Tacoma city limits.  It looks like the number to call for Pierce County utility assistance requires you to make an appointment.  We are hoping for something more emergent as she is sitting in our ER.  I think she owes around $400.
