PRESCRIPTION ASSISTANCE
Bridging the Gap
A program focused on your well-being, providing medication access and peace of mind.
PROVIDING CARE | ONE PRESCRIPTION AT A TIME
Prescription medication should never be a luxury. Unfortunately, many individuals face prescription insecurity, struggling to afford the medications they need. Studies indicate that 1 in 4 Americans struggle to afford their prescriptions. We are dedicated to easing this burden through our prescription assistance program, made possible by our invaluable partnerships with CarolinaEast, Realo Pharmacy, and MERCI Clinic.

Individuals experiencing prescription insecurity are eligible for prescription assistance once every six months.
