Unfortunately, lifesaving antibiotics and critical care medications used in emergencies are in short supply. Every day, patients across the United States face a difficult choice between paying for medication or sacrificing their health.
Ascension is working to help patients and communities access the medications they need. Whether it’s medication for managing chronic conditions or antibiotics for an unexpected infection, cost should not be a barrier to care.
Ascension Rx and The Dispensary of Hope recognize the challenges posed by rising prescription drug costs and are committed to being part of the solution.
Ascension Florida and The Dispensary of Hope are launching a program to provide vulnerable community members with access to free medications. Already established in Northeast Florida at Ascension St. Vincent’s in 2024, the program will now serve patients at Ascension Sacred Heart Pensacola.
In the past year, Dispensary of Hope provided medications for nonprofit pharmacies and clinics across the nation. This network filled 1.2 million prescriptions nationwide for 164,000 patients, delivering more than 3,000 free prescriptions every day.
