- Pfizer strives to be an industry leader in providing assistance to groups that are tackling health issues. We believe that one of the key aspects in addressing health care equity is to focus on patient and provider access to medicines. Disparities in health care costs, access, delivery, and outcomes are simply unacceptable. Pfizer, as a public health company, must take the lead in creating successes across the broad spectrum of this complex and vital issue.While doing background research for this presentation I came across another one of Dr. King’s poignant and elegantly simple quotes. In talking about the core truths of social justice, Dr. King said: “Whatever affects one directly, affects allindirectly. I can never be what I ought to be until you are what you ought to be. This is the interrelated structure of reality.” We at Pfizer believe this to be true and we believe that we can make a difference in the lives of people struggling to overcome these inequalities. Equality in health care is, at its core, social justice and in the struggle to attain equal and just health care, we are all interconnected.
- At Pfizer, we take pride in our in-house initiatives to address disparity in care, such as:the Pfizer Helpful Pfriends program, which provides access to medicines for UNINSURED AND UNDERINSURED AMERICANS. Pfizer Helpful Answers is tHE LARGEST AND MOST EXTENSIVE PATIENT ASSISTANCE PROGRAM IN THE U.S.For more than two decades, Pfizer has been helping patients in need get access to Pfizer medicines. Today, this assistance is provided through Pfizer Helpful Answers – a family of assistance programs for the uninsured and underinsured who need help getting Pfizer medicines. These programs provide Pfizer medicines for free or at a savings to patients who qualify. Some programs also offer reimbursement support services for people with insurance.Pfizer Minority Medical School Scholarship Program: recognizes deserving minority medical students at a crucial point in their academic career. This program provides tuition scholarships to eight students per year at the four historically black U.S. medical schools: Charles R. Drew University of Medicine and Science, Howard University College of Medicine, Meharry Medical College, and Morehouse School of Medicine.the Pfizer Fellowship in Health Disparities, which is part of Pfizer’s Medical & Academic Partnerships, and whose objective is to support the career development of talented junior researchers.and the Pfizer-National Urban League “Save Our Sons” project, which is a three-year project to develop and implement a men’s health initiative designed to meet the health needs of underserved African American men and to help close health disparity gaps in the African American community.
