Patient assistance has become a crucial resource for many Texans:
-
25% of Texas' population is without health insurance – the highest in the nation1
-
Texas has a rapidly growing population, which is increasingly at risk for
hypertension, diabetes, heart disease, and cancer2
|
In 2007, Pfizer Helpful Answers helped 166,501 Texas residents obtain more than
1 million Pfizer prescriptions for free or at a savings.

Education plays a crucial role in helping the uninsured access prescription medications.
That's why Pfizer Helpful Answers has reached out to over 3,500 community-based
organizations nationwide, training staff members on the programs available to local
residents and providing important patient educational materials.

One organization with which Pfizer works closely is the Dallas Concilio,
whose mission is to advocate and enhance the quality of life for Hispanics in the greater Dallas area through community partnerships.
