This year, I am so excited to participate in CommunityHealth’s ‘Messages for Meds’ campaign. Being part of CommunityHealth, I see firsthand how patients benefit from having access to quality healthcare. CommunityHealth is the largest free clinic in the nation providing quality healthcare to over 10,000 patients every year! This year’s ‘messages for meds’ campaign is especially urgent because of the increasing costs associated with medications. Access to medication makes a huge difference in the lives of these patients and their ability to get healthy and stay healthy. Will you help provide these vital medications by making a donation towards my goal? For every $1.00 CommunityHealth spends, more than $7.00 worth of patient care is provided. I look forward to any support you can give. And please consider donating to this campaign on #GivingTuesday.

About this Campaign

Desmond Layne

CommunityHealth is fundraising for our MedAccess Chicago Pharmacy which provides life-saving medications at no cost to uninsured members in our community.

Messages For Meds is CommunityHealth’s online giving campaign, completely volunteer driven by residents, staff, students and volunteers to fundraise for CommunityHealth's MedAccess Pharmacy.

Accessing affordable prescription medications is one of the greatest challenges facing low-income, uninsured individuals; even a small fee through low-cost retail pharmacy programs can be cost-prohibitive. Last year, over 30,000 prescriptions were filled at CommunityHealth’s MedAccess Pharmacy at no cost to our patients.  We're fortunate to have many supporters and partners that donate medications to our pharmacy, but for those that are not donated we have to purchase to ensure patients have access to the treatments they need to get better.

Our goal is to raise $25,000 through this campaign to offset the costs associated with medications that are necessary to our patients’ health care needs.  Help us stop sickness before it starts so we can make Chicago a healthier place for everyone. #MessagesForMeds

Your donation makes such a huge difference in our pharmacy. Here are some examples of what your donation could allow us to provide. (Note: gifts are not restricted to specific items but spent according to greatest need in the pharmacy)

$25 will provide Antibiotics for 1 Patient
$100 will provide 20 patients with Diabetes their medications
$1000 will provide a 3 Months Supply of Insulin Syringes  for our entire diabetic population
