What happens when patients can finally afford the medication they truly need instead of settling for what they can pay for? The answer is transformative healthcare.

Pharmacy Director Dennis Kimbrell shares a surprising revelation from his experience with the 340B drug pricing program at MedLink. When he first joined the organization, he expected to help patients save money on their existing medications. Instead, he discovered something far more impactful – patients weren't using effective medications at all because they simply couldn't afford them.

This conversation shows how the 340B program helps in two big ways: it saves patients money, and it also helps MedLink keep offering important health services to the community. Thanks to these savings, MedLink has been able to grow and add dental care, mental health help, addiction recovery support, and imaging services — all of which are hard to find in rural or low-income areas.

Dennis also talks about how hard it is for some people to get proper healthcare, especially in places where there aren’t enough doctors or many people don’t have insurance. The 340B program lets clinics like MedLink offer care at lower costs, using a sliding fee scale based on how much money a family makes. This way, people can get the care they need — no matter their financial situation.

Colorectal cancer is one of the most preventable yet deadly cancers if left undetected. Dr. Nicole Powell, DNP, a family nurse practitioner at MedLink Winder, shares key facts about this common condition.

She explains how colorectal cancer develops from small polyps that can become cancerous and highlights a critical update: screening now starts at age 45 instead of 50 due to rising cases in younger adults.

Dr. Powell breaks down screening options, from at-home tests like FIT (yearly) and Cologuard (every three years) to the gold-standard colonoscopy, which detects and removes polyps. She also addresses common barriers to screening and highlights free Cologuard testing for qualifying MedLink patients.

Early detection saves lives—when caught early, survival rates are significantly higher. Don’t let fear or embarrassment stop you. Talk to your provider about the best screening option for you and take charge of your health today.
