Prescriptions are potentially a life saving option for those with chronic illness, but the cost of these drugs provides a whole new set of issues and choices for the working poor. MLK Health Center is working with the community of Shreveport and Bossier to meet this need. The MLK Health Center and Pharmacy works with the working poor in our community who don't make enough to pay for insurance on their own, but also make more than would qualify them for assistance. Being in this income gap means any medical emergency will likely lead to bankruptcy, and a chronic illness will likely lead to homelessness due to the likely future inability to work because of the untreated illness.
