No senior should choose between prescriptions and food.
On a fixed income, a single prescription can force an impossible choice: fill the medication or buy groceries for the week. Add the challenge of getting to a doctor’s appointment without reliable transportation, and the barriers compound quickly. Senior Medication & Transport Support exists because healthcare access shouldn’t depend on whether a senior can afford a cab to the pharmacy or choose between two essential medications. Through verified clinics, pharmacy partners, and senior transit programs, this program helps older adults maintain the care routines their health depends on.
About this program
Senior Medication & Transport Support provides medication cost assistance and transportation to medical appointments for seniors on fixed incomes who face financial barriers to healthcare access. All support is delivered through verified pharmacy partners, clinical providers, and senior transit programs — the Foundation does not transfer cash to individuals. Partner clinics and senior centers conduct intake assessments and coordinate services, ensuring that assistance reaches seniors with documented need. The program covers medication cost gaps, prescription coordination, medical appointment transportation, and essential medical supply support through approved vendors.
