MedAssist: This program has two main components. The traditional program assists people to leverage long-term prescription medications by accessing pharmaceutical companies’ assistance programs. Trained advocates network with the patient’s physician and the pharmaceutical company to ensure the patient receives their medications. The target population of the MedAssist program are people with no or limited prescription drug coverage. The second component offers additional assistance to help with immediate medication costs/co-pays. The goal is to sustain or enhance the quality of life of our clients.

Professional Counseling Solutions: The program provides individual, premarital, marital and family therapy from a systemic approach. Our services are focused on helping our clients cope with life’s challenges in order to return to their optimum level of functioning prior to treatment. Services are based on a sliding fee scale. Clients are not refused due to their inability to pay.
