Community Health Improvement Initiatives

Primary Health Care Access

• Parkview Whitley Hospital's Medication Assistance Program (MAP)
  The Medication Assistance Program was developed in response to a growing need in the community for financial assistance with prescription medications. MAP partners with patients, physicians, pharmaceutical companies and local pharmacies to provide medication assistance at little or no cost to qualified individuals. Assistance takes the form of an emergency voucher program for short-term medication needs and help with applying for long-term assistance through Pharmaceutical Assistance programs. For more information, call (260) 248-9263.
• Health Screening and Prevention and Disease Management
  Parkview Whitley Hospital participates in numerous health fairs and activities throughout the year to provide health education, health screenings for disease prevention, and to promote healthy lifestyles. The hospital also provides support groups to assist patients and families in managing disease.
