This relief comes from the Emergency Prescription Assistance Program (EPAP), managed by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' (HHS) Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response (ASPR). We are committed to doing everything we can to protect Americans from the potential health impacts of disasters, and Emergency Prescription Assistance Program is one part of that effort, said HHS Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response, Robert Kadlec, M.D. EPAP provides vital assistance to people without insurance who rely upon certain prescription medicines and equipment to protect their health after disasters. I encourage citizens in Northern Mariana Islands who qualify for this assistance to take advantage of it. More than 72,000 pharmacies participate nationwide. All of the pharmacies in the CNMI are open and the following pharmacies in Saipan participate in the Emergency Prescription Assistance Program: - Brabu Pharmacy, 101 Akari Road - PHI Pharmacy, 1 Navy Hill Road - PHI I, Joeten Dandan Center Click here to view the entire press release. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
