PCHC Offers $1.1M in Rx Savings & Access
 In 2015, PCHC's Prescription Assistance Programs helped patients access $1.1 Million dollars' worth of medications at no cost. This was accomplished through our partnerships with manufacturer bulk replenishment programs including Pfizer, AstraZeneca, Merc and Direct Relief and the PCHC affordable care program using savings created by the 340B Drug program. Based on this great success and the needs of our community, PCHC is adding two additional staff members to the PCHC Pharmacy Prescription Assistance team to further serve our patients and community.
