For the past 2 years, CommunityHealth has been a big part of my life. I started as a Spanish interpreter and now see patients as a med student. We provide free quality primary care to Chicagoans that don't qualify for health insurance, usually because of their immigration status. This has allowed me to connect with some of the kindest and most gracious patients I've ever met. Currently, I am fundraising so that the clinic can continue to provide free medications, vaccines, screenings, etc. to the people that have fallen through the cracks of our healthcare system. I would greatly appreciate your support by donating ANY amount to my campaign. Thank you for reading!

About this Campaign

Grant Van der Voort

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
