Lawson Neel MedBank opened on February 2, 2002. The purpose this organization is to assist the uninsured and underinsured in getting the medications they need to stabilize chronic illnesses. We accomplish this through partnering with healthcare providers who refer patients to the program. We serve all age groups who see a participating healthcare provider. To date we have helped over 5,900 people receive over $30 million in medications from patient assistance programs (PAPs) from the major drug companies. MedBank helps people to be compliant with their medical treatment plan and benefits local hospitals, healthcare facilities, and healthcare providers’ offices by reducing the incidences of unnecessary visits or admissions. Our Director, Board, volunteers and staff are committed to accomplishing our mission. No fees are charged for MedBank services. MedBank is a registered 501(c)(3) charitable organization.
Lawson Neel MedBank serves persons with chronic health conditions who have limited or no prescription coverage and/or limited financial resources, and have a need for medications for an extended period of time. MedBank will not furnish or assist in obtaining controlled substances. MedBank will serve any patient of a participating healthcare provider, regardless of place of residence.
