• Americares U.S. Program is the leading nonprofit provider of medical aid to the U.S. health care safety net. We support a network of 1,000 clinics and health centers serving more than 7 million patients in need.  Americares is licensed or authorized to distribute prescription medications in all 50 U.S. states and Puerto Rico. Our U.S. Program helps partner clinics increase capacity, provide comprehensive care, improve health outcomes and reduce costs for patients. 

• Each year, Americares Medical Outreach program supports volunteer medical teams making more than 1,000 trips to approximately 80 countries with medicine, supplies and educational resources. These medical teams provide primary care, perform surgeries, respond to emergencies and strengthen local health care capacity in communities where even basic medical care is often non-existent or inaccessible.
