card for medications she needs to help ease pain from rheumatoid arthritis. “It has been a huge help,” she said. The Kansas Drug Card program is a free, statewide prescription assistance program that was started three and a half years ago to help people who are uninsured and underinsured, but any Kansan, regardless of income, can use it. For people with insurance, the program can be used to cover medications that aren’t covered by their insurance plan. In some cases, the card may offer cheaper prices than the insurance. But residents can’t use both an insurance card and the Kansas Drug Card at the same time. In addition to medications, the Kansas Drug Card offers discounts on items such as teeth-whitening supplies, prescription eye glasses, dermatology creams, smoking cessation and weight loss assistance, hearing aids, eye drops and diabetic supplies. Only about 3,200 residents are using the program, but Angela Garvey, Kansas Drug Card program director, hopes to change that. “Many people are without benefits right now, and medications are being cut in half or not taken at all or not being taken consistently due to lack of health care resources,” Garvey said, “so many people have to decide between their medications and their groceries, and the food wins out, so they don’t take their medicine.” She is raising awareness about the program by traveling to doctors’ offices, safety net clinics, hospitals and pharmacies throughout the state. She recently was in Lawrence where about 420 people used the program in July. Garvey said the program could be particularly helpful for people who are uninsured, part-time work-

same building so that we can know one another, work more closely together and share the energy and excitement across various divisions of the business, from news to advertising to our business office to our technology department, all in one building,” said Suzanne Schlicht, chief operating officer of The World Company. “We believe it is going to create a more united, more successful company.” Removing the physical distance among divisions of the company should increase communication and foster a more productive work environment, Schlicht said. That improved environment is expected to translate into better service to readers, viewers, subscribers and advertisers, whether in Lawrence or on the Internet around the world, Schlicht said. Although the news, advertising and office staffs now will share space in the facility at 645 N.H., production activities, including the printing and distribution of the Journal-World, USA TODAY and other newspapers, will remain at 609 N.H. The consolidation was made possible in part because The World Company sold Sunflower Broadband in October 2010, to Knology of Kansas Inc., which later sold it to Wide Open West! “After the sale of Sunflower, our facilities were not 100 percent occupied, so this allows us to be more efficient,” Schlicht said.

The Kansas Drug Program can be used to help cover the cost of medications when seniors fall into the Medicare Part D coverage gap, commonly known as the donut hole. “So many people are really hurting for money right now, and so they are cutting corners in places that can affect their health, and we are trying to work with them as much as possible so they can afford their medications,” Garvey said.
Using the card The card is accepted at more than 56,000 pharmacies nationwide, including Dillons, Hy-Vee, CVS, Walmart, Walgreens and Target, and the discounts will vary depending on the pharmacy. Kansans can get a card by: # Visiting KansasDrugCard.com, where cards can be downloaded and printed. # Calling Garvey at 913638-8415, and she can mail a card. # Visiting a participating pharmacy because many have the cards available. Doctors and clinics also may have them available. The cards become active immediately and work like an insurance card. There is no expiration date. Garvey said prescriptions processed through the program are confidential. “We follow strict privacy guidelines so we never use a patient’s information for anything including marketing. In fact, someone can use the card anonymously if they opt to,” she said.
Customers and other visitors seeking in-person contact with employees from all divisions of The World Company, including production, should use the Seventh Street entrance, where a receptionist will be available to assist. The Journal-World, in its 120-year history, has been at several addresses in downtown Lawrence. The Lawrence Record, predecessor of today’s Journal-World, was operated as a leased property beginning on Dec. 14, 1891. The Record was in the 600 block of Massachusetts Street. The first edition of the Lawrence World came out March 2, 1892, with the World operating at 722 Mass. The newspaper moved into 609 N.H. on Jan. 27, 1955, completed one expansion on Feb. 3, 1969, and later expanded three more times to accommodate the printing of USA TODAY and a second press and mailroom for the Journal-World to become a morning newspaper. The most recent expansion into 645 N.H.,
The program is funded through the support of the pharmacies and the pharmaceutical companies, Garvey said. She said it works in partnership with the Kansas Department of Health and Environment. Toni Witt, a pharmacist at the Hy-Vee Food Store on Sixth Street, said they’ve accepted Kansas Drug Cards for about two years. “For most of our patients who don’t have any insurance coverage, we try to automatically put them on the program for any drugs that aren’t on our $4 list,” she said. “It offers a pretty significant discount.” For those who have insurance, Witt said, Hy-Vee can run both an insurance card and the Kansas Drug Card through its system to see which offers the best price. She said the insurance company typically provides the best deal. Garvey said they are working to improve the online database at KansasDrugCard.com, where people can enter medications and see what the discount might be, but she said prices change often and so it only would be an estimate. Garvey encourages everyone to get a card and have it on file at a participating pharmacy. “You never know when you might be prescribed a drug that’s not covered or expensive,” she said. — Health reporter Karrey Britt can be reached at 832-7190.

where operations are being consolidated, came in 2001. Concerning the future of the 609 building, Schlicht said, “In the short term, some or all of the building may be leased. Long term, we really envision this property as having exciting possibilities as the gateway to downtown Lawrence.” The World Company already has put up for lease a part of the building that has a Massachusetts Street entrance. No decision on how to repurpose the rest of the building is expected to come in the near term. “The property is situated to be the gateway to downtown Lawrence with its Mass. Street frontage,” Schlicht said. “Because of that, the owners, as well as many people in the community, have envisioned some really great purposes for this space in the future.”
