关于我们
NC MedAssist is committed to helping low-income, uninsured North Carolina residents receive FREE life-saving prescription medication by operating a licensed pharmacy as well as providing Mobile Free Pharmacy events in counties all over the state, distributing approx. $100,000 in over-the-counter medications at each event. We partner with local community colleges, hospitals, social services, the health department and other local organizations to provide health care advocacy, educational services as well as health care checks at each event (i.e diabetic checks/education). Our overall goal is to improve the health of not only our Free Pharmacy patients, but all NC residents who attend our events, by enabling them to obtain life-saving prescription medications for chronic illnesses like diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, asthma as well as critical OTCs. NC MedAssist is the only organization of its type in NC. We are committed to serving those who continually fall through the cracks, but we could not do it without the continued support of our generous donors. Please, join us in dispensing hope for the uninsured today. https://medassist.org/donate/

Nearly 70,000 families and individuals received free medication and services from us this past fiscal year. But, the work we do would be impossible without the support of our dedicated volunteers. Whether you serve as a board member, committee member, medication sorter, medication consultant, workshop presenter, executive host, event host, speaker, consultant---no matter the role—your contribution of time to our mission is invaluable. THANK YOU! #NationalPharamcyWeek #DispensingHope #NCMedAssist

Currently our largest outreach program, our Mobile Free Pharmacy (MFP) team members travel each week across the state of North Carolina distributing Over the Counter medicine. The NC MedAssist team members along with volunteers from the local community, work to not only distribute OTC medicine/products, they also invite other safety-net organizations onsite to help identify other social determinants of health gaps such as food insecurity, transportation, etc. Collaboration has grown this program over the years –serving more than 39,000 families and individuals this past fiscal year.
