Rx for Oklahoma with Community Action Agency
Oklahoma City and Oklahoma/Canadian Counties, January 2006- The agency has opened a Prescription Drug Assistance Program (Rx for Oklahoma) to connect income eligible individuals and families to programs offered by pharmaceutical manufacturers.
“Rx for Oklahoma is a prescription assistance service to help increase the awareness to the community of these programs and serve families resulting in free or low cost maintenance medications,” explained Angie Dotson, Prescription Drug Program Coordinator.
“Most of the population we are serving are working class families of all ages, and different backgrounds, who do not have insurance or prescription coverage and can not afford their medications,” Dotson added.
Last year, The Oklahoma Legislature appropriated $1 million for the program through House Bill 1853, a statewide program that has progressed into 2006. The program is a partnership with all 20 Oklahoma Community Action Agencies.
Dotson said, Rx for Oklahoma is to serve each individual, who seeks our assistance and to improve their quality of life”.
For more information on the program call 232-0199 from 8an to 5pm, Monday through Friday, or go by their office located at 319 SW 25th St. in the Capitol Hill Business District.
