Dear Visitors-At the Chatham County Safety Net Planning Council, our partners are constantly looking for ways to serve you better with added services and extended hours as opportunities become available. Below you will see a summary of the most recent progress:
Thanks to the City of Savannah, a free discount drug card program is now available to anyone without insurance or for those whose insurance won't cover a particular medication. The program requires no enrollment, has no income limits and can be used by all members of a family.
More than 50 area pharmacies will accept the cards, which offer discounts averaging 20 percent. Cards are available for distribution at all Safety Net Provider sites, Memorial Health University Hospital, all Chatham County public libraries, Greenbriar Children's Center, Chatham County Health Department, Department of Family and Children's Services, Second Harvest of Coastal Georgia, Thunderbolt town hall and local community centers.
Read the announcement in Savannah Morning News.
