Helping Patients at Home: A Planned Safety Net

Despite the fact that the Affordable Care Act has provided millions of previously uninsured people with health insurance, tens of millions in the U.S. remain uninsured. And all too often, “uninsured” translates to “underserved.”

That’s why Boehringer Ingelheim Cares Foundation is expanding its “Produce to Give” program – an extension of its Product Donation Program – to provide a free supply of Boehringer Ingelheim medicines for patients suffering from chronic health conditions.

These medicines are produced specifically for distribution through our longstanding partner, AmeriCares, to clinics across the U.S. The medicines will allow safety net clinics – clinical sites that provide care to those who otherwise would have barriers to accessing quality health services – to increase capacity provide comprehensive care, improve health outcomes, and reduce out-of-pocket costs for patients.

The Produce to Give program is another innovative way Boehringer Ingelheim Cares Foundation is bringing more health to more communities and patients in need.
