AmeriCares U.S. Medical Assistance Program provides safety-net health clinics with donated medicine and medical supplies.

AmeriCares is a Connecticut-based humanitarian aid organization that delivers medicine and medical supplies to clinics and hospitals around the world in the United States. AmeriCares U.S. Medical Assistance Program provides safety-net health clinics with donated medicine and medical supplies. In the United States they distribute products to over 400 clinics, the majority of which are free and charitable clinics. Throughout the years they have cultivated relationships with over 200 pharmaceutical companies that donate medicines to AmeriCares on an ad hoc basis throughout the year. Their program is a good supplement to PAPs and samples. Through their online ordering tool, US Access, you have 24/7 access to their inventory, which is updated in real time. There are no fees to sign up and they cover the cost of shipping. Here is a link to sign-up with their donations program: http://usaccess.americares.org/clinics/

In addition to their donations program, this year they developed a website specifically geared toward free clinics with some applicability to charitable clinics. Because there are limited resources available to free and charitable clinics, their website hosts a number of guides and tools. Here is a link to that site: http://freeclinicstoday.org/. They will be updating the website with new topics over the next year.
