"Hope...Freedom...and Medicine." - Jason Dinger takes us on a journey of what's possible when you reinvent the pharmaceutical supply chain. Since its inception two years ago, the Dispensary of Hope has grown to provide more than 100,000 prescriptions annually utilizing more than 50 dispensing sites throughout the country. The solution provides medicine at 1/10th the cost and saves hospitals tens of millions in bad debt. While initially servicing the United States, the Dispensary built its model to eventually serve low-income countries throughout the world. About TEDx, x=independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self- organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x=independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
