United Way distributes prescription drug card

Thursday, July 17, 2008 United Way of Stanly County has joined more than 75 United Ways in all 50 states to save people $25 million on the cost of their medicine in the next year.

A FamilyWize prescription drug discount card is being distributed by the United Way of Stanly County free of charge to everyone in the community There are no age restrictions, no income restrictions, no limit on how many times one can use it and no waiting to get it.

If you don’t have health insurance or need medicine not covered by your insurance plan, you need a FamilyWize prescription drug card..

“Healthcare costs are one of the top concerns for people of our community” said Janet Sistare, executive director of United Way of Stanly County.

“Forty percent of adults don’t buy the medicine they need, have difficulty affording it, or reduce the required dosage because of the high cost.

“The FamilyWize prescription drug discount cards will help those who otherwise could not afford to buy the medicine they need.”

FamilyWize cards can be obtained from many of the participating local pharmacies or by calling United Way of Stanly County at (704)-982-6946.

The United Way of Stanly County’s 16 partner agencies will also have cards available for consumers and the public at their locations. Local businesses and employers can also get cards to give their employees.

The funded non-profit agencies include American Red Cross, Crisis Council, Inc., Monarch (formerly The Arc of Stanly County), Girl Scouts, Hornet’s Nest Council, Community Care Clinic, GHA, Inc. (formerly Group Homes for the Autistic), Crisis Assistance Fund, Homes of Hope, Inc., Mental Health Association of Stanly County, Older Adult Services in Stanly, Rescue Unit of Stanly County, Stanly County Family YMCA, Stanly County 4-H, Stanly County Habitat for Humanity, Stanly County One-on-One Program, and Stanly County Senior Services Department.

The FamilyWize cards are accepted at CVS Pharmacy, Wal-Mart, Albemarle Pharmacy, Oakboro Pharmacy, Medical Pharmacy of Albemarle, Inc., Albemarle Compounding & Prescrip-tion Center, Kerr Drug and Norwood Pharmacy. Most pharmacies here and throughout the United States accept the FamilyWize prescription drug discount cards.

So far more than six million cards have been distributed.

More information is available at United Way of Stanly County and online at www.familywize.org.

“We hope everyone in the community will take the time to thank their pharmacist, United Way of Stanly County, and everyone else involved for the difference they are making in the lives of so many people in the comminitiy,” said Dan Barnes, co-chair of the FamilyWize Community Service Partnerships.
