(Jacksonville, FL): The Mission House Clinic is pleased to announce its recent partnership with the Dispensary of Hope. This partnership will solidify Mission House’s ability to continue to provide free pharmaceuticals to their clients who lack access to medication coverage and live who below 200% of the federal poverty guidelines.
For Mission House’s chronically ill patients, access to free medication is often their first step to recovery and self-sufficient lives. These clients’ ability to receive monitored and much-needed medication helps them gain control over, and often ameliorates, their health issues, allowing them to stay out of the healthcare system for avoidable reasons.
“We are thrilled to enter this partnership with Dispensary of Hope. The collaboration is an amazing opportunity for Mission House and the uninsured patients we serve. The partnership will expand our formulary and allow us to provide even more medications to the patients who are ill or are suffering from chronic disease,” stated Nancy Crain, Mission House’s Physician Assistant.
