United Way Wednesday: Mercy Health Med Assist

Med Assist is an ongoing mission program offered by Mercy Health Springfield that enables low income individuals struggling with health concerns to receive prescription medications and medical treatment support in Clark and Champaign Counties; thus eliminating the need to put other basic needs above one’s own health. This support allows patients to manage their health and their chronic conditions and to live a healthier life. Med Assist promotes individual health management and supports the care and treatment plans initiated by local physicians. Med Assist helps prevent emergency department visits and hospital admissions.
