WHAT: An assistance program offered by Pfizer that can help unemployed
Americans continue receiving their prescription medicines. The
program is fully operational today, July 1.
MAINTAIN(TM) is a unique program from Pfizer that helps newly
unemployed Americans and their families without prescription
coverage, who are in financial need, continue to get their Pfizer
medicine free of charge for up to 12 months or until they become
insured, whichever comes first. People enrolled in MAINTAIN can get
access to more than 70 Pfizer medicines that treat a range of
chronic health conditions.
To be eligible for MAINTAIN, applicants must be able to
demonstrate loss of employment on or after January 1, 2009; lack
of prescription coverage; attest to financial hardship; and be on
Pfizer medicine for at least three months prior to unemployment
and enrolling in the program. For more information, to enroll, or
to find out if you qualify for this or other assistance programs,

WHEN: July 1, 2009 - MAINTAIN fully operational and expected to accept
applications through December 31, 2009.
WHO: Dr. Jorge Puente, architect of the program, is available for
interviews. His inspiration for MAINTAIN came after witnessing
friends, family and neighbors struggle to make ends meet after
losing their jobs.
