Patient Need

[Smith, Cara]

***** Please reply to bobbi....@mercy.net who is assisting the patient. 

I am reaching out to inquire whether your organization has any resources or programs that could assist with the provision of nutritional supplements.

A Community Health Worker (CHW) on my team is currently supporting a young man diagnosed with Crohn’s disease. His physician has recommended supplemental nutrition shakes (such as Boost or Ensure) as part of his care plan. Unfortunately, his insurance no longer covers these products, and the out-of-pocket cost has become a significant barrier for him. He has explored local food pantries but found that they do not always have a supply available. 

We are exploring any available options to help bridge this gap and ensure he can continue following his prescribed nutrition plan. If your organization offers support in this area—or if you are aware of any community resources or programs that might be able to help—I would greatly appreciate your guidance.

Good morning Cara, 

         I apologize for my delay as I was out of town. 

Unfortunately, we don’t have any of those products on hand, and we serve people who have children under 3 (does he meet this criteria?). As far as who may have some, have you reached out to Circle of Concern in Fenton? I believe they are limited to certain zip codes, but I’m not sure which ones. Here is there phone number : 

+1 (636) 861-2623

I hope you are able to find him the help he needs. Let me know  if you have any other questions!

Best,
