NC MedAssist

NC MedAssist NC MedAssist is a statewide nonprofit pharmacy providing prescription medicine to uninsured, low-income residents at no cost. FOOD OR MEDICINE??

Through our Free Pharmacy Program, OTC Free Store, and Mobile Free Pharmacy events, we are dispensing hope across NC. That is the stark choice that faces more and more members of our own community. As costs of prescription drugs continue to rise and the numbers of uninsured reach all time highs, providing a no cost source for life-saving prescription drugs becomes critical. NC MedAssist exists to

provide free medications to the uninsured by qualifying patients for patient assistance programs offered by pharmaceutical companies and dispensing them directly to patients. Over the past 12 years, NC MedAssist has dispensed over $30 million in free prescription medicines to over 15,000 low-income residents. In Mecklenburg County, NC MedAssist serves as a Community Pharmacy dispensing free prescription medication to our neighbors who are uninsured. Residents of the county can qualify for our services if they are at or below 200% of the Federal Poverty Level. At our two locations in Charlotte, we do not have doctors on staff so you must have a prescription slip written by a doctor to apply. If you believe that you may be eligible for help with your prescription medication, please call us at 704-536-1790. We can screen you on the phone to let you know how we may be able to assist you. We also serve as the Central Fill Pharmacy for North Carolina's Free Clinics. Patients access our services through the physicians, physician assistants and nurse practitioners that serve these clinics across the state.

Each year at the NC MedAssist Executive Luncheon, we recognize an outstanding individual who demonstrates compassion, dedication, and an unwavering commitment to our mission.

The Joyce Award for Excellence in Volunteerism honors the legacy of Dr. Donald and Carmel Joyce, whose commitment to service helped shape the culture of volunteerism that defines NC MedAssist today. This award recognizes individuals who reflect that same spirit — those who quietly and consistently give their time to improve the lives of others.

For nearly a decade, Bobbi Hague has been one of those individuals. Quietly and consistently, she has made a meaningful difference in the lives of individuals and families across North Carolina. From sorting and stocking medication and training volunteers to supporting Mobile Free Pharmacy events, Bobbi has dedicated more than 650 hours to our mission.

Inspired by family values that emphasized giving back whenever possible, her commitment to service began long before NC MedAssist. Today, she continues to live that belief through thoughtful, dependable, and impactful volunteer work.

Volunteers like Bobbi are the reason our mission continues to grow — and why more North Carolinians can access the medications they need to lead healthier, more stable lives.

We want to extend our overwhelming gratitude to Novant Health for serving as the Presenting Sponsor of this year’s NC MedAssist Executive Luncheon, and to Luncheon Chair Andrea Reed for leading a dedicated committee that helped us exceed our goals. Together, we raised more than $310,000 to support our work and the patients we serve across North Carolina.

Novant Health’s commitment to reaching beyond the walls of their medical centers, understanding the barriers people face, and meeting communities where they are is evident in their partnership with NC MedAssist.
