NAFC president and CEO Nicole Lamoureux said: “The NAFC is honoured to welcome the Charitable Pharmacies of America.

“We have long been proud to partner in our efforts to address health inequities in our country and look forward to doing so even more closely in the future.”

The NAFC aims to address the needs of the uninsured and underinsured by supporting over 1,400 Free and Charitable Clinics and Pharmacies nationwide.

Recently, the McKesson Foundation granted $1.28m over two years to the NAFC to address the critical needs of free and charitable clinics.

The funds will support breast cancer screenings, expand Medication Therapy Management (MTM) programmes, and implement food-as-medicine initiatives.
