There are no age or income restrictions, and everyone in your household can use the card. Simply show your card to the pharmacist each time you fill or refill a prescription. There is no paperwork to complete and no limit on usage. Nearly all local pharmacies accept ScriptSave including Walgreens, Safeway, Rite Aid, Target, Shopko, Savon, Fred Meyer, Yoke’s, Costco, and Wal-Mart to name just a few.

Program History
Thrive for Life, formerly Club TLC

Club TLC, Lourdes’ free outreach program to those age 50 and better, has a long and successful history. The program has been serving local residents for more than 10 years. We have over 3,500 members and are growing everyday. Successful organizations periodically pause to review their progress and consider opportunities to improve. Club TLC went through just such a time of reflection and revision in the first half of 2009.

Here are some of the conclusions and changes that came about:

• We want to serve more community members. To determine how, we conducted a number of small focus groups and an online survey.
• The program will continue to be completely free of charge and for everyone age 50 and better. Club TLC will provide free health and wellness workshops, ScriptSave prescription discount cards, newsletters, screenings, referrals, discounts with local businesses, Healthwise for Life reference books, and more.
• We need to update our mission statement and graphic look. Our new mission is “to help adults age 50 and better be health and live well.”
• The final (and perhaps most surprising!) conclusion was that the program needs a new name. “Club TLC” makes it hard for people to remember and understand what the program is about. Possible new names were proposed, and one emerged very clearly as the favorite: Thrive for Life. Thrive for Life is appealing, positive, and conveys exactly what Lourdes hopes all community members will do – thrive throughout every phase of life.

Thank you for your membership! If you have a suggestion or question, please contact us at (509) 542-3062. We would love to hear from you!
