The City of Hendersonville plans to introduce a program that will help residents with 20 percent savings from the cost of common prescription drugs.
Free prescription drug discount cards will be available to city residents through a program sponsored by the National League of Cities.
The discount cards will be available in September and may be used by all residents of Hendersonville and have no restrictions based on the resident's age, income level, or existing health coverage.
The NLC card can be used when purchasing prescription drugs at approximately 37 pharmacies around the city according to a news release from David Sapp, Human Resources Director for the City of Hendersonville.
The cards can be also be used at more than 59,000 participating retail pharmacies across the country.
NLC and the City of Hendersonville will make the money-saving cards available to city residents at no cost to the individual.
The city plans to make a future announcement to provide information on how and when residents may obtain the cards.
