May 15, 2024 – Pharmacy of Grace is thrilled to announce that we have been chosen as a recipient of the prestigious United Way Impact 100 grant. As an organization that is not even two years old yet, we are honored to be joining the respected local non-profits on this list of grant recipients. 

This recognition by United Way of Greater Kansas City reaffirms our commitment to providing better access to medication and improved overall health to under-resourced people in our community and marks a significant milestone in our journey towards creating a healthier, more resilient Greater Kansas City.

The Impact 100 grant program is a cornerstone initiative of United Way, designed to identify and invest in the most vital health and human service organizations making a difference in our region.

After thorough deliberation, Pharmacy of Grace emerged as one of the standout organizations poised to effect meaningful change in the Kansas City area.

At Pharmacy of Grace, our mission is clear: to ensure that every individual has access to the medications and health resources they need to thrive. Receiving the Impact 100 grant not only provides us with vital financial support but also signifies an endorsement of our vision and impact within the community. With this funding, we will be able to expand our reach, enhance our services, and make an even greater difference in the lives of those we serve.

We are grateful to United Way of Greater Kansas City for their belief in our mission. Together, we are united in our commitment to building a healthier, more equitable future for all residents of Kansas City.

KSHB: Patients, pharmacists feel relief with insulin prices lowered to $35

/in /by

Kansas City, KS — KSHB stopped by Pharmacy of Grace last week to interview our Pharmacist-in-Charge Michael Fink about the new program helping cap insulin prices for Medicare patients at just $35.

Fink told reporter Elyse Shoenig about how he’s seen insulin prices skyrocketing in the last few years, and how difficult that has been for patients. This price cap will help some people, but Pharmacy of Grace is still concerned about who gets left behind. Uninsured and underinsured patients are still struggling to afford their insulin, and we want to make sure they know that Pharmacy of Grace can help. Fink told KSHB that he’s seen firsthand the powerful impact it has on patients to finally be able to afford their medications when they come to Pharmacy of Grace:

“I’ve actually had patients walk out the door crying when we’ve given them their insulin that they’re now able to take it home,” Fink said. “Instead of not being able to afford it and just refusing it at the counter.”

KSHB also interviewed one of our patients, Ralph Richardson, who needs insulin to control his diabetes. His son said that they come to Pharmacy of Grace because the insulin is significantly less expensive with us than anywhere else.
