Community
Medical Care, Inc. is a local
charity assisting Barren County’s low-income seniors
with prescription medication, prescription glasses and hearing
aids. Hearing aids are obtained through another charity program,
The Starkey Hearing Foundation's Hear
Now.
Also,
Community Medical Care assists low-income, working uninsured
adults of Barren County by providing primary health care,
prescription medication, emergency dental, optometric &
hospital care, and specialist consultation. The primary health
care is made possible through a residency program at T.
J. Samson Community Hospital.
Assistance
is given by CMC paying 90% of the cost of medication up to
$250.00 per quarter for adults and $200.00 per month for seniors.
We also assist in filling out the paper work for indigent
drug programs when available. For more information on drug
