Prescription help for the uninsured
Monthly Pro-life Mass, Rosary and
procession starts at St Joseph
Information available at Catholic Charities or www.TogetherRxAccess.com
Catholic Charities is participating in efforts to
inform the uninsured about opportunities to
participate in programs to make medicines more
affordable, and is hoping one new program will ease
the financial burden of the uninsured.
“Recently we reviewed the Together Rx Access
program and are encouraging those who are
uninsured to take advantage of the opportunity this
program offers—to save on medications,” said
Sister Barbara Netek, executive director of Catholic
Charities of Corpus Christi. “Any program that
helps the uninsured is a good program,” she said.
Enrollment in the program is free and will provide
eligible people up to a 40% discount on medications.
For more information on the program, brochures
are available at Catholic Charities in Corpus Christi
at 1312 Comanche Street and through the rural
outreach case workers of Catholic Charities.
For more information call Catholic Charities at
884-0651 or call the program directly at 1-800-444-
4106 or go to their website:
