Partnership for Prescription Assistance Prepared To Help Virginia Workers Hurt by...( RICHMOND Va. Aug. 27 -- The 'H...),Health

RICHMOND, Va., Aug. 27 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The 'Help is Here Express' bus tour will be stopping in Virginia throughout the week of August 31 - September 3 at various cities in order to help uninsured and financially-struggling Virginians access information on programs that provide prescription medicines for free or nearly free. With the state's unemployment rate now hitting 6.9 percent - and having risen for 26 straight months - the Partnership for Prescription Assistance (PPA) bus tour is raising awareness of patient assistance programs among state residents who face layoffs and loss of health care benefits.

The PPA, a nationwide effort sponsored by America's pharmaceutical research companies, provides a single point of access to more than 475 patient assistance programs that help those who are uninsured or struggling financially. Nearly 200 of the programs are provided by pharmaceutical companies.

The "Help Is Here Express" bus will be at the following Virginia locations:
