Description
The Duplin County Health Department entered into a partnership with NC MedAssist in 2014. NC MedAssist helps us provide prescription and over-the-counter medications to the uninsured population within the county.
Partnering with NC MedAssist, we serve the uninsured population of Duplin County, which is approximately 20% of the population.
