as possible for people in our
community to save on
prescription drugs. Too many
people have insufficient or no
prescription coverage or need
medications not covered by
their insurance, Medicare,
Medicaid or VA benefits," said
Brenda Abel, President and
CEO of United Way of Bradley
County.
Healthcare costs are one of the
top concerns for people in the
community and these discount
cards will help individuals and
families who otherwise could
not afford the medicine they
need.
