Every day, women, men and
children across the country, and our world, suffer illness because they can't
afford medication. As the church’s ministry of health care, our commitment to
stewarding resources in order to extend help and hope to those persons in need
calls us to look for ways to assist our friends, family, and community
neighbors.
This webinar offered
information about a viable solution that not only gets medications into the
hands of those who need them, but also, provides a means for eliminating
pharmaceutical waste: The Dispensary of Hope, a subsidiary of St. Thomas Health
in Nashville, Tenn. As a national distribution center that connects a national
network of medication donors with safety net access sites, the Dispensary of
Hope is a resource Catholic health care can utilize to carry out its mission of
helping poor and vulnerable persons in their communities. In this important
one-hour webinar recording, you will: learn more about the Dispensary of
Hope, how the Dispensary of Hope impacts both the health of the community
and the environment, and how your organization might take advantage of the
Dispensary of Hope.
