Saving Lives and Making Smiles. Donate to support our programs! Donations can be made through Welvista.org or mailed to our corporate office.
Welvista is a private, nonprofit organization that serves vulnerable South Carolinians through two programs, our Medication Assistance Program (MAP) and Smiles for a Lifetime Pediatric Dental Program. We envision a South Carolina where no one has to choose between food and medication and no child goes without dental care.
Welvista’s MAP is a full-service, mail-order pharmacy for uninsured, low income South Carolinians. By providing access to medications to treat chronic medical conditions, Welvista is able to both improve the health of our patients and reduce the cost of uncompensated care to our state. We mail prescriptions directly to our patients’ homes to reduce barriers to care such as lack of transportation and accessibility to medication. Additionally, our pharmacists provide our patients with counseling and education to improve medication adherence. Welvista is a vital safety net for the uninsured population of South Carolina. These services are free for our patients.
Our Smiles program is a non-profit, school-based pediatric dental program providing preventive and restorative services to school-aged children in grades K-12 in rural South Carolina counties. The centers are located on school grounds in Allendale, Clarendon, Dillon, and Hampton school districts. Transportation is provided and there is never an out-of-pocket cost for services. The five centers operate during school hours, allowing equal access to all children by breaking down transportation barriers and alleviating a parent’s need to miss work hours for their student’s dental appointment. Good oral health is essential for a child’s behavioral, speech, language and overall growth and development.
Approximately 99 percent of total expenses are devoted to program services. Please help us continue our work to Save Lives and Make Smiles!
