The Partnership for Prescription Assistance bus stopped at the Tri-State Community Health Center in Hancock, MD and the Community Free Clinic in Hagerstown, MD on Friday helping more than 60 people learn how to get their prescriptions free or nearly free.
The Herald-Mail reports that at both locations, staff invited patients aboard the orange bus and asked them questions about their prescription medicines, income and current coverage to generate a list of assistance programs that could help them.
The need for prescription assistance was evident immediately during the tour's stop in Hagerstown, said Kaelan Hollon, spokeswoman for the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America. "We had people waiting for us before we even pulled in," she said.
