SINCE 1948, Direct Relief has provided medicines and medical supplies to improve the health of people in the U.S. and throughout the world. The simple goal of enabling people to live healthy, productive lives—regardless of the circumstances into which they are born or find themselves—is a powerful incentive. It drives Direct Relief’s work here at home, where Direct Relief USA is both the country’s largest nonprofit program providing free prescription medications and the only U.S. nonprofit program licensed to do so in all 50 states. More than 59 million people in the U.S. lack health insurance. Every day, more Americans are accessing quality, affordable preventive and primary care at local nonprofit community clinics and health centers: the U.S. healthcare safety net. Direct Relief USA has delivered free medicines and medical supplies valued at over $225 million to 1,100 safety net clinics and health centers in all 50 states representing 20 million patients. This is made possible only because of the support of 79 healthcare companies, FedEx providing free distribution (5,000 deliveries in 2010), and the generosity of private donors. This is how Direct Relief USA is helping safety net clinics care for their low-income, uninsured patients:

PUERTO RICO

In the United States, 23 million people—approximately eight percent of the population—have diabetes.

Since this most recent economic crisis began, more than 8.2 million people have lost their jobs, and for many

their health insurance along with it—455,000 of these people are estimated to have diabetes.

To address this growing need, Direct Relief USA partnered with medical companies BD and Roche

to launch nationwide programs to assist people with diabetes who have no insurance and are low-income.

For patients with diabetes who lack health insurance and access to affordable medical care, obtaining the

necessary diabetes testing supplies is a prohibitive expense. The inability to regularly check blood glucose

levels could result in a number of serious, sometimes life-threatening, complications, like stroke, heart

disease, and kidney disease.

DIRECT RELIEF & BD // BY THE NUMBERS• 5 million insulin syringes donated and distributed

• More than 560 clinics and health centers providing care to 4.2

million patients (8.6% of whom are uninsured with diabetes)

• All 50 states + D.C. & Puerto Rico

DIRECT RELIEF & ROCHE // BY THE NUMBERS• $5 million in ACCU-CHEK® Aviva test strips and glucose meters

donated and distributed

• Over 200 clinics and health centers providing care to 1.8 million

patients (9.4% of whom are uninsured with diabetes)

• 32 states + D.C.

FOR THE FIRST SIX MONTHS OF 2009 COMPARED TO THOSE OF 2008…

1. Of the 4.2 million patients represented by the 562 responding clinics, nearly half were uninsured

2. Patients increased 7.9%

3. Uninsured patients increased 9.6%

4. 8.6% of all patients were uninsured and had diabetes

5. Uninsured diabetic patients increased 12.9%

Q. What are the biggest concerns for your clinics and

what are your plans to address them?

A. Our biggest concern remains our necessity to maintain

financial stability so we can continue to address the

growing needs of the people of our neighborhoods. Our

core population is growing at an alarming rate due to

unemployment and an increasing number of uninsured

people in our community. While the challenges are

enormous, the opportunity is now to take our 40 year-

old organization forward and follow a path to long-term

sustainability. We need partners like Direct Relief to help

us achieve these goals.

Q. November is Diabetes Awareness month. How

many of your patients have been diagnosed with

diabetes, and what are some of the initiatives that your

clinic has implemented to help these patients?

A. Of our 17,000 patients, about 2,000 have been

diagnosed with diabetes or are pre-diabetic. Since their

care is complex, frequent, and mediations and testing so

expensive, SBNC has created a Diabetes Management

Program. Patients are given free one-on-one nutritional

therapy, a 10-week series of group classes, and family

counseling to address the significant life changes that

affect not just the patient diagnosed, but their entire

outcomes by ensuring patients

with diabetes are coming in for all

their appointments and testing.

Our podiatrist cares for their feet,

as this is a significant problem area.

Q. What are some of the key accomplishments that

have resulted from the partnership between your clinic

and Direct Relief USA?

A. Direct Relief has been generous and responsive to

our patients’ needs over the years. While trying to provide

quality, comprehensive, and state-of-the-art health care

to all our patients, it is imperative that we find resources

for our underserved and uninsured patients to receive the

medications and supplies essential to providing proper

care and maintenance of their conditions. We could not

provide the quality of care to our patients with diabetes

without the donations from Direct Relief. By joining

the Roche diabetes donation program, we can provide

glucose test strips for free to our patients, who would not

be testing as often as they should if they had to pay for

them. This single program ensures exceptional health

outcomes for our patients because they now have a way

to track and manage their disease without having to chose

between putting dinner on the table that night or buying

test strips.

They survived the quake. We’re helping them survive what comes after.

In Haiti, Direct Relief has been the largest provider of medicines and medical supplies since the tragic

January earthquake—$54 million and 550 tons of medical assistance to more than 53 hospitals, health

facilities, responding organizations, and camps caring for injured and displaced people.

Backed by the massive generosity of private and corporate supporters, Direct Relief put

together the most comprehensive emergency response in our 62-year history, much of the support

airlifted free-of-charge by FedEx. Intense efforts, innovative new approaches, and key partnerships made

this unprecedented level of support possible.

Working with colleague nonprofits, healthcare companies, and international and Haitian

authorities, Direct Relief introduced an online medical-supply ordering system to Haiti and established

a secure medical distribution center. This is now a key supply lifeline to Haitian health facilities and pro-

vides transparency, efficiency, and precision in allocating and distributing medical resources. It is even

more important now, as facilities confront a serious cholera outbreak and huge rebuilding efforts on top

of the daily challenges of providing care for people who get sick or hurt.
