San Bernardino County has saved residents $753,463.66 on their prescriptions this year. “We are pleased to work with San Bernardino County, which prides itself on providing programs that enrich the lives of its residents, in assisting its families with beneficial discounts on health related needs. It is of utmost importance to the San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors and the Coast2Coast Rx program to help those in need of obtaining prescriptions and other health care related services,” said Martin Dettelbach, Chief Marketing Officer of the Coast2Coast Rx program. He added, “We look forward to continuing and growing our relationship with San Bernardino County and maintaining savings on health services for San Bernardino families.” The Coast2Coast Rx card allows all consumers, regardless of income, age, or health status to participate in the program and save on the cost of their medications.
