Bowden Sent: Tuesday, October 16, 2012 11:32 AM Subject: script talk update for the tallahassee area One of the most difficult things for visually impaired or blind people to manage is medications. Questions we often ask ourselves especially if we can't read prescription information might be. What's in the bottle? how much can I take? will it interfere with any other medications I am taking? Envision America has started a pilot program distributing the script talk talking prescription reader free of charge to blind and visually impaired individuals. Currently, you can obtain your prescriptions from Sams, and wal-mart located on Lagnipape Way (off mahan drive) You do not need to be a Sams club member to use the Pharmacy. Once you have signed up for the program, the store representative will fax a form to Envision America, and you will be sent the reader. The store will also take care of transfer of prescriptions from other stores. I signed up at the Wal-mart on Oct. 14. The manager was most helpful and completed and faxed the form while my husband and I watched. If necessary, you can have your prescriptions mailed for convenience. Tallahassee is a test city, so please sign up if you can. The more people who sign up the more locations we can get.
