The National Library of Medicine states, "Physicians have always known that an informed patient who takes an active role is a 'better' patient”. The Slash Drug Costs Organization was created based upon this premise.

The Slash Drug Costs organization has a simple mission of bringing down the costs of prescription and over the counter drugs for consumers. This is accomplished by the communal sharing of information that can be used to reduce overall drug costs.

Unlike other online resources that help people obtain needed medications, we do not discriminate against anyone based on income and our services are completely free. People should not be required to be poverty stricken just to get the drugs they need.

Volunteering for the Slash Drug Cost Organization is easy. It requires no experience or educational requirements. You only need a place where you can use the internet. There is no traveling, no expenses, minimal training. You will have the ease of being able to assist others right from your home, library or office.

Everything in our organization is done by volunteers who simply want to help people. (Although we do get the satisfaction of feeling better about ourselves)

We believe that staying healthy usually begins with having something meaningful to do each day. When volunteering with us you can quickly take someone from the crisis of not being able to obtain required medications and show them reasonable solutions they can take to their doctors.

The result is life changing for those we help. People who volunteer with us often report feeling productive, needed and important.

We provide all of the training necessary and multiple competent people are available whenever you might need assistance.

The hours are completely flexible and the number of hours you put in is totally your choice. All that is required is to have access to the internet (either at home, a library, on break at work, etc.). Everything we do is through our website ( www.SlashDrugCosts.org ). There is no office.

You may quit the job at any time (even at 2 am on a Sunday night.) We do request that you notify us at some convenient time for you.

If you have questions, please visit our site where it will be more clear about our services (which are always free and available to anyone, whatever their income.) You can contact us from there for any further information you might need.
