Community Rx Assistance

We are excited to announce a new service, in partnership with the Nevada Aging and Disability Services Division, that will provide prescription assistance to low-income seniors and disabled individuals in our communities.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and AARP, 48% of adults 50 and older skip filling a prescription or take less medication than prescribed due to cost. Seniors who are food insecure or are disabled are 6 times more likely than their peers not to get a prescription medication or take it as prescribed because of a lack of affordability.

Our community health workers will provide prescription assistance to those in need and coordinate social services in-depth for those suffering from food insecurity, housing instability, transportation access, and social isolation. With this new program, we can make a tremendous impact on this issue and help ensure that our elders don’t go without the medications they need to age gracefully simply because of cost.

At AHN, we believe in the power and dignity of people. We are a positive force for change and empower the health of our communities, one person, one family, and one partnership at a time. Since 2013, AHN has provided comprehensive services to over 28,000 seniors within our community to ensure they have access to the basic services and support systems they need to age with health and dignity.
