Medical Care Access Coalition provides U.P. clients with lifesaving prescription medication, counseling services

More than a million dollars’ worth of prescription medications.

That’s what the Medical Care Access Coalition (MCAC) helped procure for its clients in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula in 2019—among many other essential activities.

With a mission to guide and assist Dickinson and Iron County residents to access optimal health care to meet their individual needs, the organization also provides free counseling services to more than 1,200 clients each year.

Enbridge is committed to improving quality of life in the communities where we operate, and our recent $60,000 will help the MCAC procure another approximately $500,000 of prescription medication for its clients.

“We’ve been operating on reserve funding since 2018 . . . when the representative from Enbridge called and told me we’d received the funding, I just started crying because it has given us at least six more months of our operating budget,” recalls Mylynn Trulock, the MCAC’s executive director.

“We were so blessed by Enbridge. I can't even express our and our clients’ gratitude. Our clients have truly turned into friends after working together for so long and we’re so thankful to be able to keep supporting them.”
