PATH's Long Term Prescription Assistance Program is designed to address the needs of low-income adults without health insurance and the means to pay for long-term medications.
PATH currently assists more than 1,500 Smith County residents. In 2004 the value of the medications received by PATH's program participants was in excess of 2.6 million dollars.
Prior to enrolling in PATH's program, participants often had to decide whether to pay for rent, utilities, food, or medication.
PATH's staff and volunteers work with 175 local physicians and national pharmaceutical companies to provide free medications to eligible adults.
PATH does not keep any medications onsite. All medications are mailed from the pharmaceutical companies directly to the client's physician. Clients pick up their medication at their doctor's office.
The PATH Prescription Program needs volunteers to assist with data entry and the application process. For more information about becoming a volunteer, contact Debbie Burks at Debbie_burks@tylerpath.org.
