Guided by a passion to educate and empower patients to pro-actively inquire about the short and long term side effects of prescription medicine before accepting them, MedShadow Foundation seeks to help people understand the risks & benefits of medicines and prompt discussions between the patient and health care provider. This includes asking deeper questions to a physician or pharmacist, looking at the pros and cons of prescription drugs, and if appropriate, exploring other options. We empower our readers to learn about prescription drugs and become an engaged advocate in their own health and wellbeing.

CLARE believes that recovery involves individual effort, the non-judgmental support of others and a clean, secure and sober environment.
