The Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA) and the Eastern Maine Healthcare Systems have launched a pilot program designed to increase patient access to important medicines throughout rural Aroosook County, Maine. The program, funded by a grant from PhRMA, will make it easier for Mainers in Aroostook County to get connected to the Partnership for Prescription Assistance, a program supported by America's pharmaceutical research companies to help uninsured and underinsured Americans get access to medicines for free or nearly free.
