The poor and uninsured in Summerville struggle to get the
necessary medications for their basic health care needs. Often they are given prescriptions upon
discharge from the hospital that they cannot afford to get filled. Also medications are often the first thing to
be put aside when folks who are poor, homeless and or receive their health care
from free medical clinics have other financial demands like food. This winter season has seen a spike in upper
respiratory infections, bronchitis and pneumonia with many
hospitalizations. Change for a Dollar was
asked from a variety of sources to assist folks once again with their
prescriptions. Change for a Dollar has a
relationship with a local pharmacy where they offer a discount on medications
and Change for a Dollar paid for those prescriptions.
Prescriptions for patients- $100
