NC MedAssist

WHY THIS MATTERS

NC MedAssist Pancakes and Beer 5K is MORE than just the novelty of the pancakes, bacon and beer!   With the funds raised from this race, NC MedAssist will continue to provide access to life-saving medications to our neighbors and friends who are uninsured.

About 63% of people in the healthcare coverage gap come from working households. That means they make too much money to qualify for Medicaid, and just not quite enough to afford health insurance.  For every $200 raised- one more person who can spend their money on groceries instead of prescriptions. It also means one more patient will remain healthy and avoid unnecessary emergency room visits due to lack of treatment- which means lower healthcare costs for everyone! NC MedAssist’s services save North Carolina $74 million annually in healthcare cost avoidance.
