Project BRAVO administers the Patient Assistance Program (PAP) to address the need for health care services. PAP helps patients obtain, complete and submit applications to the manufacture companies that provide free and reduced medications, diabetic supplies, smoking cessation inhalers, and nutritional supplement drinks.
The PAP Program also provides assistance in completing and submitting applications for a free eye exam.
The PAP Program has established a partnership with an optical that provides free eyewear to patients that are financially unable to obtain their eyeglasses.
Not only does the PAP Program assist the patients with free medications, eye exams and eyeglasses but also identifies and provides referrals for free or low cost health clinics, community health centers, hospital benefit plans and local pharmacy discount programs.
This program meets the needs of some 400 patients each year.
