Medication Delivery: Bringing Care to Your Doorstep

Why Medication Delivery Matters in Rural Louisiana

Nearly one-third of Louisiana residents live in rural communities. These areas are full of strength and heart—but many residents face real challenges when it comes to healthcare access.

Getting to a pharmacy isn’t always easy. For patients with chronic conditions, missing a dose of medication can be dangerous. That’s why SCHS offers at home prescription delivery services—bringing prescriptions directly to your door.

Why Consistent Medication Matters

Living with a chronic illness means you need regular access to medication. Skipping even one dose can lead to:

• A trip to the emergency room
• A serious health decline
• Unnecessary stress and fear

Common conditions that require daily medication:

• High blood pressure
• Diabetes
• Heart disease
• Asthma and COPD

The Cost of Missed Medications

When patients can’t get their prescriptions, the results are serious:

• 125,000 deaths per year are linked to missed medications
• 10 to 25% of hospitalizations are caused by missed or inconsistent doses
• Emergency visits and hospital stays often cost more than a simple refill
