Americares U.S. Program is one of the leading nonprofit providers of medical aid to the U.S. health care safety net. We help partner clinics increase service capacity, provide comprehensive care, improve health outcomes and reduce costs for patients.
Americares U.S Program provided $190M in health programs, medicine and medical supplies last year. We continue to expand our efforts and support a network of nearly 1,000 clinics and health centers serving more than 7 million patients in need.
We are licensed or authorized to distribute prescription medications in all 50 U.S. states and Puerto Rico.
These free and charitable clinics and health centers leverage shared and donated resources to build programs that continuously find innovative approaches to better health care
The network serves the uninsured and underinsured with high quality, primary care for conditions such as diabetes, hypertension and mental health. Many safety net partners also offer an expanded range of services, such as pediatric exams, vaccinations and dentistry. Our partners can find important shared educational information that will help them deliver high quality patient care at SafetyNetCenter.org
Our work in the United States is informed by our experience operating four Free Clinics in Connecticut for low-income uninsured patients.
No one should have to choose between paying their bills and buying their medications.
Through the Patient Assistance Program we work with pharmaceutical donors to provide access to medicines for low income U.S. patients without prescription drug coverage who would otherwise not be able to obtain needed medicines for chronic or long-term conditions such as diabetes, heart disease or cancer.
“Medicine for the poor should not be poor medicine”.
