Watertree Health® Announces 2 Million Meals Donated

Watertree Health was founded to make communities healthier, so it's logical for the organizations to have paired up – Having enough to eat is as essential to good health as prescription compliance.  In America, 1 in 8 people struggle with hunger and 1 in 4 don't fill their prescriptions because of cost.  The prescription discount card program benefitting Food Banks helps put food on the table and medicine in the cabinets.

CEO of the Food Bank of the Rio Grande Valley Terri Drefke says, "Being the first Food Bank to partner with Watertree Health, we've been the largest benefactor.  Our organization accounts for approximately half of the 2 million meals that have been provided.  People in our community are able to live better lives because of the help they have received in getting the food and medicines they desperately need.  We are so grateful for the generous help that Watertree Health has and continues to provide."

Watertree Health President Shane Power said, "In this month of thanks and giving, we are so grateful to everyone who helped make this possible.  Every person who used the cards benefiting these Food Banks contributed to this milestone.  Together, we can combat food insecurity and prescription non-compliance.  No one should go hungry or without necessary drugs because of financial reasons."
