How We Help

VOUCHER PROGRAM
Bring your prescription to one of our partners, Dorcas Ministries or Oak City Cares, and receive a voucher for the cost of your medication.  If you meet the eligibility requirements, a pharmacy within the FIGS network will fill your prescription at no cost.

DRUG PURCHASE AND MEDICAL SUPPLY PROGRAMS

• We fund the purchase of almost half of all generic medications dispensed for patients treated at the Urban Ministries Open Door Clinic.
• Patients of Alliance Medical Ministry and NeighborHealth Center are eligible for free prescription medication filled by a FIGS pharmacy partner.
• ​We underwrite the costs of the UNC School of Nursing Mobile Health Unit for two Saturdays a month at Dorcas Ministries.  The nurses and nurse practitioners screen clients for health problems, educate them on health promotion and disease prevention, and connect them with needed resources and care. 

Who We Help

FIGS of Wake County is dedicated to improving access to prescription healthcare for:

• Children and adults who are either uninsured or underinsured, and
• People who may be eligible for Medicaid but haven’t filed for benefits.

In 2020, FIGS funded over 20,000 prescriptions for Wake County residents.

My husband lost his job and with only my part-time work, we could not afford my medicine. I was so scared that I would get sicker.  I was so grateful for FIGS because Alliance Medical Ministry was able to get my medication for free during this crisis.
