Project Description:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The project is intended to create a program modeled after the Prescription Drug Assistance Program.  MCRHS would establish a $500,000 pool of money to be used for off setting prescription drug prices to patients without an Rx plan to assist in medical purchases.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Measurable Outcome Anticipated:

 

 

 

 

 

MCRHS feels that as many as 1/4 to 1/3 of its patients will increase access to proper medications.  Proper treatment and medication should have a measurable impact on the reported health statistics by the Manatee County Health Department.
