Healthcare costs are one of the top concerns for people in our community and the FamilyWize prescription drug discount cards will help individuals and families who otherwise could not afford to buy the medicine they need. One out of every five people in the United States has no prescription coverage.

The Callaway County United Way has joined with 550 United Ways in all 50 states in lowering the cost of prescription medication for people who need help with their prescription costs. This partnership is saving over $1 million every month with a goal of saving $100 million over the next 5 years.  More than 4 million cards have been distributed and over $7 million have been saved to date.  There is more information on the program’s website at www.familywize.org, such as a tool to look up drug prices, participating pharmacies and print additional cards for family, friends and co-workers.
