| St.
Vincent de Paul Charitable Pharmacy Taking Patients Those helped by the SVDP Charitable Pharmacy include homeless persons, those who have lost their jobs and the working poor who cannot afford prescription insurance or pharmacy co-pays. Others need temporary assistance as they try to secure coverage, qualify for other assistance programs or reach a gap in Medicare coverage. Reaching a wide cross-section of those who are uninsured or underinsured, most referrals come from local clinics, private physicians, transitional housing, homeless shelters and hospital emergency rooms. In partnership with the Academy of Medicine of Cincinnati, the Charitable Pharmacy is now accepting donations of sample medication from physician offices. For more information, contact Mike Espel, R. Ph. at (513) 562-8841, ext. 264. Working with a variety of partners & supporters, the St. Vincent de Paul Charitable Pharmacy Board, a dynamic group of community leaders from Leadership Cincinnati and elsewhere, takes an innovative approach to meeting one of our community's most pressing needs.
