Severe flooding has once again impacted the eastern United States, with Kentucky bearing the brunt of the devastation.

The latest round of torrential rains has drenched communities that are still reeling from the devastating 2022 floods in the region, further straining local health care systems. Many clinics are facing significant disruptions due to the severe weather, leaving patients without essential health services and putting the health of already at-risk populations in jeopardy.

In response, Americares has contacted 11 partner clinics in Kentucky to offer assistance. We are prepared to deliver critically needed medicines and relief supplies to support survivors, including medicines to treat chronic diseases, hygiene kits, first aid items, as well as emergency funding to help restore health services in affected communities.
