Need help paying for prescriptions?

Dorchester County has joined the National Association of Counties to provide a card that saves an average of 20 percent on your prescription medicine. No enrollment form, no membership fee, no restrictions, and the card can be used any time your prescription is not covered by insurance. To get a card, you can call the church office (410-228-1424) or leave a message with your name and how to reach you in the Health Ministries mailbox at church.
