Your Participation Supports our Medication Bridge Program for Patients of University Medical Center New Orleans.

Medication Bridge is one of the longest-running and most utilized programs of the Spirit of Charity Foundation. Each year, nearly 700 patients at UMCNO receive critical support through the program.

Of every dollar invested:

85% is spent directly on providing medications
15% supports assistance with durable medical equipment

These funds help patients avoid devastating trade-offs—such as skipping meals, falling behind on housing, or delaying care—in order to manage their health. Through the generosity of our supporters, Medication Bridge restores dignity, stability, and hope to hundreds of individuals and families each year.

 
Why Support Matters in 2026

Demand for Medication Bridge continues to grow as prescription costs rise and financial pressures increase. With sustained support, we can reach even more patients who are facing impossible decisions and ensure continuity of care for those already relying on the program.

Your support transforms prescriptions into treatment—and hardship into healing.

Together, we can ensure that no patient has to choose between their health and their livelihood.
