Chronic Care Management
Patients with chronic diseases like Diabetes, COPD and similar respiratory diseases, complicated heart disease and some forms of arthritis can be enrolled in the Caldwell Health Access Program or CHAP. This program pairs uninsured patients with volunteer medical providers in Caldwell County who have agreed to manage patients with chronic diseases in their offices. Patients enrolled in CHAP have access to all Helping Hands services. To find out more about CHAP, call 828.754.8565 x306.
Free Prescription Medications
Most medications are accessed through the Patient Assistance Program with the pharmaceutical companies. Helping Hands Clinic does not write prescriptions for or dispense narcotics of any kind. Helping Hands Clinic believes that patients who are invested in their personal health become more healthy, so patients are asked to purchase any medications available for $4 at a local retail pharmacy.
