Local Programs
The World Medical Relief Local Programs started in 1966. The Affordable Prescriptions program was our first program and we have expanded to provide many other programs for the local community. We have had a state-licensed pharmacy since 1966.
The Local Programs at World Medical Relief are for low-income, uninsured, and underinsured people living in the state of Michigan. We also offer National Programs for organizations who need help in the United States.
We would love to try and get you the help you need. Please download the application you need and follow the instructions carefully. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us or email us at GetHelpLocal@worldmedicalrelief.org
