Prescription Assistance

PATH’s Long Term Prescription Assistance Program is designed to address the needs of low-income adults without health insurance and the means to pay for long-term medications.

PATH currently assists more than 3,000 Smith County residents. In 2008 the value of the medications received by PATH’s program participants was in excess of 4.7 million dollars.

Prior to enrolling in PATH’s program, participants often had to decide whether to pay for rent, utilities, food, or medication.

PATH’s staff and volunteers work with 200 local physicians, the Bethesda Clinic, and national pharmaceutical companies to provide free medications to eligible adults.

PATH does not keep any medications onsite. All medications are mailed from the pharmaceutical companies directly to the client’s physician. Clients pick up their medication at their doctor’s office.

The PATH Prescription Program needs volunteers to assist with data entry and the application process. For more information about becoming a volunteer, call (903) 597-4044, ext. 117, or ext. 180.

YES! I would like to make a donation to the Prescription Program.
