BEACON CHARITABLE PHARMACY
The Only Charitable Pharmacy in NEO
For the most vulnerable populations, Beacon Charitable Pharmacy provides access to pharmaceuticals and education by collaborating with other health care providers and community organizations to maximize resources and provide effective and efficient services. Beacon is a non-profit organization and since its founding as Prescription Assistance Network (PAN) in 2002, we have filled more than 296,000 prescriptions that have a value of more than $31,000,000! PAN was renamed Beacon Charitable Pharmacy in 2018.
A Solid Foundation + A Strategic Partnership
Beacon Charitable Pharmacy was established as a collaborative between the Austin Bailey Health and Wellness Foundation and the Sisters of Charity Foundation of Canton to create a solution to this growing community need. The Foundations convened many meetings of organizations and persons in our community who had an interest in this important issue. The consensus was that an innovative agency would be established to coordinate prescription assistance, maximize resources, significantly expand the utilization of pharmaceutical companies’ prescription assistance programs throughout the community, advocate for the uninsured, and make a systemic change in addressing this important health issue.
Northeast Ohio Medical University (NEOMED) College of Pharmacy and Beacon Charitable Pharmacy collaborate to provide a practice site for the pharmacy students. The students are learning and practicing pharmacy skills, gaining an understanding of indigent care and providing extensive education, Medication Therapy Management, and pharmaceutical services to our clients.
