Dispensing Hope for the Uninsured
NC MedAssist is a North Carolina-based startup dedicated to providing free life-saving prescription medication to low-income, uninsured residents. The company operates a licensed pharmacy and hosts Mobile Free Pharmacy events across the state, distributing approximately $100,000 worth of over-the-counter medications at each event. In addition to dispensing medications, NC MedAssist partners with local community colleges, hospitals, social services, and health departments to offer health care advocacy, educational services, and health checks, including diabetic screenings and education.
The organization's overarching mission is to enhance the health of not only its Free Pharmacy patients but also all North Carolina residents who attend its events, by facilitating access to life-saving prescription medications for chronic conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, and asthma, as well as critical over-the-counter medications. Notably, NC MedAssist is the sole entity of its kind in North Carolina, focusing on serving individuals who often slip through the cracks of the healthcare system.
Founded in 1997, NC MedAssist operates at the intersection of the health care and pharmaceutical industries. As the company continues to carry out its vital mission, it relies on the steadfast support of generous donors to fulfill its vision of dispensing hope for the uninsured.
