Recently, the Taney County Commission approved a program that could save county residents thousands of dollars on prescription drugs each month.

This drug plan is through the National Association of Counties pharmaceutical program. As a member of the association, the county can take advantage of the program, at no cost. The commission voted to adopt the program and make the cards available to county residents free of charge.

The cards will be available to anyone who is a resident of the county. Cardholders can expect to save between 10 and 22 percent off the cash price of prescription drugs.

Just one more reason that Taney County is a great place to live!
