From Struggling to Supported: Denise’s Journey with MeroMed
When Denise first connected with MeroMed Health, she wasn’t looking for a miracle—just someone who would listen.
A 55-year-old grandmother from a medically underserved neighborhood, Denise had been living with high blood pressure and prediabetes for years. She hadn’t seen a doctor in over a decade.
“I was tired all the time, dizzy, and scared,” she recalls. “But I didn’t have insurance. I felt stuck.”
That changed when she learned that MeroMed offered in-home wellness visits for people with limited mobility and access to care.
Care That Came to Her Door
A compassionate MeroMed provider visited Denise at her home, where she received a full health screening, education on managing her conditions, and support with accessing affordable medications. She was also connected with a care coordinator who followed up regularly by phone.
“They didn’t just treat me—they showed up for me. I finally felt seen.”
A New Outlook
Today, Denise checks her blood pressure daily and takes her meds regularly. With help from MeroMed’s health education materials and care team, she’s eating better and walking each morning with her daughter.
“They gave me more than medicine—they gave me a second chance.”
