Success Story
Sarah—a single mother living with her seven children
and one grandchild—was unemployed because of chronic
health problems. She had tried to enroll in drug company
medication programs, but couldn’t complete the applications
because of a language barrier.
Through NOVA ScriptsCentral, Sarah is able to get three
of the four medications she needs to stay healthy. After
she signed up, her medications arrived within three days.
Directions for taking the prescriptions were written in
clear, simple English so she could understand them and
take the drugs without complications.
Because she is taking the medication she needs, Sarah
is healthy again. She is back at work as a hairdresser
and is able to work all of her hours. She can also afford
day care for her children thanks to the money she saves
by receiving her prescriptions from NOVA ScriptsCentral.

It’s
a nonprofit, mail-order pharmacy that provides life-saving medications

with our clinic partners - the Jeanie Schmidt Free Clinic in Herndon,
Potomac Hospital’s
mobile vans serving Woodbridge, the Loudoun Free Clinic, the Loudoun
Community Health Center, and the Greater Prince William Health Center.
Additional partnerships are planned with clinics and private practice
physicians in the whole Northern Virginia region.
