We are committed to helping people in our community get the prescription medications that they need, regardless of their financial situation.
Why is There a Need for Prescription Assistance Services?
There are a few reasons why prescription assistance services are so important. The first being that prescription medications can be very expensive, especially if you don’t have prescription insurance. These two things go in conjunction because oftentimes the cost of these medications are so high because they do not have prescription insurance. This is especially true for those with chronic conditions such as diabetes or high blood pressure. If these people don’t have prescription insurance, they may not be able to afford the medication that they need and could end up going without their much needed medicine.

Determining if You are Eligible
