The Partnership for Prescription Assistance (PPA) was founded in 2005 as a joint effort by America’s pharmaceutical research and biotechnology companies to help patients find medical programs for which they may eligible to obtain free or nearly-free medication and services. The PPA has now launched an iPhone and Blackberry app to give patients another resource to find the help they need. The app lets patients scroll through the medicines offered by PPA member programs or locate one of 10,000 free health care clinics across the United States.
