Mayor Jones Welcomes Montel Williams and PPA Bus

Sep 14th, 2007

Mobile Mayor Sam Jones welcomed Emmy-winning talk show host Montel Williams to the University of South Alabama Medical Center to promote the Partnership for Prescription Assistance (PPA). The PPA brings together America’s pharmaceutical companies, doctors, other health care providers, patient advocacy organizations and community groups to help qualifying patients who lack prescription coverage get the medicines they need through the public or private program that’s right for them. Many will get them free or nearly free.

Its mission is to increase awareness of patient assistance programs and boost enrollment of those who are eligible. Through this site, the Partnership for Prescription Assistance offers a single point of access to more than 475 public and private patient assistance programs, including more than 180 programs offered by pharmaceutical companies. To access the Partnership for Prescription Assistance by phone, you can call toll-free, 1-888-4PPA-NOW (1-888-477-2669).
