How does the pharmacy operate?
Ozanam Charitable Pharmacy operates in the
same way a retail pharmacy does, only our
patients do not pay for their medications. Af-
ter being certified to use the pharmacy, a pa-
tient will drop off his/her prescriptions at the
pharmacy and two business days later they
can pick them up.
How do you provide your patients
with free medications?
Ozanam Charitable Pharmacy is funded
through grants, contributions from private
foundations, government agencies, individual
donations and special events. Ozanam also
receives in-date sample medications from area
physicians. We also partner with organiza-
tions like Direct Relief International to receive
medications through their Bulk Replenish-
ment Program.
What is Ozanam Charitable Pharmacy? Ozanam Charitable Pharmacy is a free prescription
drug program for uninsured residents of Mobile,
Baldwin, and Escambia Counties.
Ozanam provides both generic and name brand medi-
cations to its patients for their chronic diseases such
as diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease and
asthma.
Ozanam Charitable Pharmacy has been in operation
since 1998. The pharmacy is named after Frederic
Ozanam, founder of the St. Vincent de Paul Society.
The pharmacy is staffed by a licensed pharmacist,
who is assisted by several volunteer pharmacists and
pharmacy technicians, to help fill over 34,000 pre-
scriptions for over 1,600 individual patients every
year.
As a non-profit organization, Ozanam Charitable
Pharmacy uses donations of samples by area physi-
cians to fill the prescriptions of eligible patients. In
order to provide name brand medications to our pa-
tients, we have a Patient Assistance Manager who
solicits the pharmaceutical companies to donate the
medications to our patients. We also purchase generic
medications using funds through grants, contribu-
tions from private foundations, government agencies,
individuals, and special events.
