What this is
Same-day approval and medications at Harris Health clinics.
Harris Health helps Houston residents afford prescription medications with free or deeply discounted programs based on income.
Harris Health System runs prescription assistance programs that make medications affordable for Houston residents. Some people get free prescriptions, while others pay deeply discounted prices for both brand-name and generic drugs. The programs cover common medications for diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart disease.
Financial help depends on your household income and family size, with people without insurance often getting the most assistance.

Why it matters
Prescription costs can force people to skip medications they need for serious health conditions. These programs ensure Houston neighbors can afford the medicines their doctors prescribe, preventing health problems from getting worse due to cost.
How to get this
Bring proof of income for your household, a photo ID, and current prescription bottles to a Harris Health clinic. The application gets processed in one visit, and approved patients often get their medications the same day. Call Harris Health directly to find the closest location and learn which programs you qualify for.
