In Fayette

County, residents can visit the Web site or make a phone call, and as

Stevens says, "lower their drug costs by hundreds of dollars every

month."

Senior citizens

have been crossing the Canadian border for years to purchase prescription

pharmaceuticals. CanadianDiscountDrugs.com extends access to these savings

to local residents. According to Stevens, "The order process is easy,

safe and secure. Customers visit the walk-in facility or the company Web

site. After completing the health profile and providing a prescription

from a U.S. physician, Canadian doctors at our partner pharmacy review

and approve the order. Discounted medications are shipped directly to

the customer's home."

He adds, "Customers

have been so pleased with the savings, service and quality. One lady told

us that she can now afford birthday presents for her grandchildren. We're

saving her $400 a month."

Stevens also

wants local nonprofit organizations and churches to know that CanadianDiscountDrugs.com

offers fundraising through a per prescription offer. "We call it

Rx Fundraising. Once registered in the program, CanadianDiscountDrugs.com

will give a fixed amount for every purchase placed by customers wanting

to credit their organzation," shares Stevens.

Stevens received

local recognition in 1998 when he was the first student from McIntosh

High School to attend Harvard University. Stevens and Dr. Russell Page

Jr. conceived of the CanadianDiscountDrugs.com concept based on research

and personal experiences relating to the extreme financial burden that

pharmaceutical prices have on senior citizens and others depending on

medications in the United States.

A second walk-in

facility is scheduled to launch locally by the end of 2002.
