STRENGTHENING THE NATION’S
HEALTHCARE SAFETY NET FOR 20
MILLION PATIENTS
SINCE 1948, Direct Relief has provided medicines and medical supplies to
improve the health of people in the U.S. and throughout the world. The simple
goal of enabling people to live healthy, productive lives—regardless of the
circumstances into which they are born or find themselves—is a powerful incentive.
It drives Direct Relief’s work here at home, where Direct Relief USA is both the
country’s largest nonprofit program providing free prescription medications and the PUERTO RICO
only U.S. nonprofit program licensed to do so in all 50 states.
More than 59 million people in the U.S. lack health insurance. Every day, more
Americans are accessing quality, affordable preventive and primary care at local HAWAII
nonprofit community clinics and health centers: the U.S. healthcare safety net.
GIVING THANKS
Direct Relief USA has delivered free medicines and medical supplies valued
at over $225 million to 1,100 safety net clinics and health centers in all 50 states
representing 20 million patients. This is made possible only because of the support
of 79 healthcare companies, FedEx providing free distribution (5,000 deliveries in
2010), and the generosity of private donors. This is how Direct Relief USA is helping
safety net clinics care for their low-income, uninsured patients:

WITH BD AND ROCHE
In the United States, 23 million people—approximately eight percent of the population—have diabetes.
Since this most recent economic crisis began, more than 8.2 million people have lost their jobs, and for many
their health insurance along with it—455,000 of these people are estimated to have diabetes.
To address this growing need, Direct Relief USA partnered with medical companies BD and Roche
to launch nationwide programs to assist people with diabetes who have no insurance and are low-income.
For patients with diabetes who lack health insurance and access to affordable medical care, obtaining the
necessary diabetes testing supplies is a prohibitive expense. The inability to regularly check blood glucose
levels could result in a number of serious, sometimes life-threatening, complications, like stroke, heart
disease, and kidney disease.
