Dennis has diabetes and takes medication daily to manage his blood sugar. Several years ago, his doctor prescribed insulin as his condition was worsening. At that time, Connie, his wife and caretaker, worried about where they would be able to afford the new medicine and how she would help her husband. Unfortunately, Dennis didn’t have prescription drug insurance. But, going without insulin wasn’t an option. Connie says she has no idea what they would have done if not for the St. Vincent de Paul Charitable Pharmacy.
“The pharmacy has made an inconvenient and intrusive diagnosis so much easier,” Connie said. “When Dennis first started on insulin I was worried about knowing how to care for him, but now I feel so confident and understand what to expect.”

Connie commends the pharmacy staff for teaching her how to care for her husband through his diagnosis. The personal relationships she has formed with staff means help is only a phone call away.
Due to Connie’s own physical limitations and without a reliable car, transportation is extremely difficult for the couple. Since the pharmacy currently offers free Uber rides to patients, they’re able to get Dennis’ lifesaving prescriptions, see a pharmacist in-person and talk through any questions or concerns.
Because of you, Dennis and Connie have help and hope to thrive.
