In order to help stem the rising costs of medication, medical supplies and care, Eblen Medical helps provide medical assistance to the children, adults, and families living in our community. Families having to daily face living with the burdens and the effects that illnesses and disabilities so often bring have to face many challenges and decisions that many other families do not. Inspired by these courageous families, Eblen Medical sets out to stand beside them as they take up this most important fight.
Eblen Medical
- Eblen Medical Equipment Assistance
- Developed to help provide wheelchairs, walkers, shower chairs, and all other manner of durable medical equipment to families in need, this program strives to help families get around a bit easier.
- By providing this equipment, families who may be bed bound or home bound can be given the liberty that these pieces of equipment can offer. Given on a loan basis for as long as the family needs and then returned, gives long life to all of our equipment and the ability to help more and more families.
- Eblen Medication Service
- Much like the Children's Pharmacy, the Eblen Medication Service provides medication to adults living in western North Carolina. Utilizing a network of all pharmacies in the area and negotiating some of the lowest prices in the nation, families in need of help can continue to see their same physicians and visit their local pharmacies so their continuum of care is not disrupted.
- By operating in this manner, and not using a formulary (a specific list of available medication) all medication is available and able to pick up at the family's convenience. Giving these families a choice on where they can receive care and obtain their medication helps to maintain the dignity and respect they all deserve.
- Eblen Vision
- In partnership with Lenscrafters, Champion Vision Centers, and Dr. Kim Walters, eyeglasses and eye exams are available to those families who are living with illnesses and disabilities at no cost to them.
- Thanks to our partner's great generosity, Eblen Charities only has to pay a fraction of the regular cost of exams and glasses so thousands of families have been able to see the world a little clearer.
- Eblen Healthcare Outreach
- One of the most important aspects of health care many times goes unmet due to the fact that families cannot afford to see a doctor. Small problems can easily grow into major problems without seeing a physician.
- In effort to curtail this dilemma, The Eblen Healthcare Outreach, provides funding assistance to these families in need of care, but cannot afford. This program, as with the Eblen Medication Service, provides our families with a luxury most of us enjoy, but few organizations offer, the ability to choose their own physician and care.
