And when it is done, you write an article for Kevan's blog.

Hi Curtis,

I just wanted to say that this was a very easy thing to do. I talked to
Hannah and she said all I needed to do was to call the King Soopers where I
get my prescription, tell them about the script talk, if they are interested
make sure that I get the name of the person I spoke to, and then Hannah
calls me back and I give her all the information and then she will call the
King Soopers and send them an email as well. She told me it takes about
three weeks to get the script talk into the pharmacy. I am excited because
I'm hoping that we will have the script talk in one of the King Soopers here
in Pueblo soon. 

I really appreciate you giving me the information because my chapter and I
have been talking about doing some thing like this but I didn't realize you
could do it at King Soopers I only knew of the CVS pharmacy. Hannah also
told me that if the CVS pharmacy is somewhere you want to get your script
they can do that also possibly.

Pharmacies? 

Greetings everyone:

Many of you know that En-Vision America offers accessible prescription
labels that are accessible either through the ScripTalk app on your
smartphone or through a specialized reading device that can be provided to
you at no cost on indefinite loan. Using this innovative technology, you not
only hear the name of the medication, you receive positive verification that
the medication is for you. The trick here is to find a pharmacy which has
the capability to place the accessible labels on your prescriptions.

Hannah Raistrick from En-Vision America has been working with Kroger on a
project to have accessible prescription labels available from the King
Soopers pharmacies, many of which are right here in Colorado. If any of you
routinely pick up prescriptions from a King Soopers pharmacy and want
accessible prescription labels on your medications (remember, you don't need
any kind of a smart anything to use this), would you speak to your
pharmacist and ask if any accessible prescription labels can be provided at
their location? Please get a name and a phone number for the pharmacist and
then get a hold of Hannah Raistrick using the following contact information:

Hannah Raistrick
En-Vision America, Inc.
Phone: 800-890-1180
Email: HRaistrick at envisionamerica.com

I myself have used the ScripTalk accessible labeling for years, first with
the free reading device from En-Vision America and later through the
ScripTalk app on my iPhone. Both the reading device and the ScripTalk are
extremely easy to use.

The more of us who ask King Soopers Pharmacies for the ScripTalk labels, the
greater our chances of having accessible labeling universally available from
all King Soopers pharmacies in Colorado.

Kindly,

Curtis Chong
