REPORTS Mayor Musial: 1) Marlene Telegdy, Senior Center administrator, has been looking into another method of providing for prescription drug service from Canada. She invited the United Prescription Service, a mail order prescription firm in Canada, to give presentations on a proposal which is open to anyone, regardless of age, who feels that they can get a better price through this method than what can be secured here in the United States. The unique aspect about this particular service is that one does not have to go to Canada to receive the prescription drugs. A United States physician would prepare the prescription, it would be faxed or mailed to the United Prescription Service, and a Canadian doctor would review that prescription and write a Canadian prescription and then would provide the drug to the United States resident via the mail service. The only product that they can't ship would be narcotics and some controlled drugs. The company will provide a quote on the prescription prior to filling it. Some of these discounts are quite substantial, going as high as 46% from the U. S. cost. Mrs. Telegdy will get more details and prepare a report for distribution. 2) The senior cftizen steering committee which was formed to study a proposed new '""'` North Olmsted multi-purpose senior center has met.
