The U.S. Department of Labor has joined with the U.S. Departments of Defense and Veterans Affairs to launch a Web-based directory to help wounded warriors identify resources available to assist them in transitioning back to civilian life. The National Resource Directory encompasses more than 10,000 services and resources. This new website also allows visitors to find help and resources in their own state by clicking on a state map.
"This directory is valuable for our returning wounded warriors and their positive reintegration back into mainstream American life," said Neil Romano, assistant secretary for the Labor Department's Office of Disability Employment Policy.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
November 20, 2008
BREVARDIANS SAVE $253,000 ON PRESCRIPTION DRUGS
IN 4 MONTHS
VIERA, Fla. – Brevard County managers are thrilled with the savings of more than $253,000 on prescription drugs by Brevard County residents in the past four months through the NACo/Caremark Prescription Discount Drug Card.
The Brevard County Board of County Commissioners approved providing the free program to the residents of Brevard County in May, and the program began in August. Since then, the card has been used by 8,600 residents to purchase over 24,000 prescriptions, with a total savings of $253,128.
Brevard is one of the heaviest users of the program in Florida , with October’s savings of $113,456 exceeding that of all other counties except Palm Beach , Pasco , and St. Lucie.
The discount drug card can be used by Brevard County residents, regardless of age, income or existing health coverage. There are no enrollment fees, restrictions or limits on frequency of use and an entire family can use one card for their purchases. The card program offers an additional safety benefit feature that alerts pharmacists when one drug may conflict with another medication that was purchased using the discount card.
The NACo card helps consumers save money on their prescription medications any time their prescription is not covered by insurance, including a Medicare Part D plan. Brevard residents who are uninsured or under-insured are able to save an average of 22 percent off retail prices, depending on the drug and quantity of purchase. Card holders can also save on pet medications through retail pharmacies.
The program is subsidized by the National Association of Counties.
For more information, contact Tammy Harris at (321) 633-2076 or tammy.harris@brevardcounty.us or visit www.NACo.org.
