Founded to help non-profits and consumers during the Coronavirus pandemic, Savascript®’s New Orleans-based team introduced its innovative prescription discount card program, “The Prescription Discount Card That Pays It Forward.” This new program allows non-profits to augment revenues by distributing discount cards to members, families, stakeholders, and communities, while delivering impressive savings to the public on their prescription medications.

According to WellDyne® VP Joseph Feliciani, “WellDyne® is proud to publicly announce its partnership with Savascript® prescription discount card program. The ability of our partnership with Savascript® to generate much-needed revenue for the nation’s non-profits during the economic dislocation caused by the pandemic, while delivering industry-leading cost savings to the American public on their prescription medications, is one of WellDyne’s proudest achievements.”

Savascript® is led by its President, Dr. Eric Griggs. After receiving an M.D. from Tulane University Medical School, Dr. Griggs dedicated himself to public & community health advocacy, serving on committees and boards for the Louisiana Primary Care Association, 100 Black Men of America, Louisiana Community Health Outreach Network, American Diabetes Association, American Cancer Society, American Heart Association, Association of Health Care Journalists, and more.

Dr. Griggs won the Dr. James T. Black Health & Wellness National Award, the NAACP Louisiana Outstanding Community Service Award, the American Heart Association Service & Leadership Award, the American Cancer Society Mid South Region Award, and awards from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and Tulane University Medical School.
