[Ohio-Talk] Giant Eagle talking prescription labels

Fri Sep 22 13:01:06 UTC 2023

Good morning,

Please read the message that I just received and if you wish to then reach out to them and ask for assistance. We also could write the corporate office about the staff who gave you a hard time this is not acceptable, and we can not put up with those types of attitudes.

Hi Richard, 

I love that we have partnered to spread the word about talking prescription labels! The number of pharmacies offering free talking labels is growing, but many people do not know about talking prescription labels!! The number of pharmacies offering free talking labels is growing, but many people do not know about talking prescription labels! Even CVS has a free talking label called Spoken RX, did you know about theirs?

We are happy to do the work for you <https://mailchi.mp/envisionamerica/let-us-do-the-work>  if a client needs assistance finding a participating pharmacy or requesting the service from their current pharmacy. We call this  “Let us do the work for you” campaign, clever right!? All you must do is send us the client’s information and we will get them set up with free talking labels. If the Pharmacy is not yet signed up with our service, we still want you to fill out the Form, but also will request for the customer to mention Scriptalk to them and that they would like to get our service through them and get the name of who they spoke with at the pharmacy, so when we reach out, we can speak with the same person.

We are excited to announce the new ScripTalk mobile app is now available in the iOS and Android App Stores

ScripTalk Mobile IOS App now available. Download here https://apps.apple.com/us/app/scriptalk-mobile/id1317698388 

ScripTalk mobile Android App now available. Download here https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mistral.scriptalkmobilev2 

I’m happy to answer any questions you have about accessible prescription labeling.  I’m also available to give presentations to staff or support groups who would benefit from learning more.

Kelsey,

Giant eagle has explicitly said no, they are not going to offer talking prescription labels, and one particularly rude employee told me to stop being an entitled  blindy and asking, and that I should have my care taker read the labels to me and that I shouldn't be out alone. I immediately walked out and reported that employee to corporate and I've never gone back to that pharmacy again.

Subject [Ohio-Talk] Giant Eagle talking prescription labels

Hello all, I am starting to look into the various options for talking medication labels. I am currently registered with CVS to use spoken RX, but I have heard several reports from friends of mine who have it that the labels easily fall off the bottles, so it renders the feature useless. someone told me a while back that Geacnt Eagle was working on implementing a system of talking or braille labels for the blind, but no additional information was provided. I think Meijer also now has something, but there isn't one in Medina at the moment, so I would have to go to Brunswick. There is a Giant Eag£e in Medina and there's two by the campground we camp at during the summer, so if Giant Eagle does have something, I would consider it. Drug Mart does not and neither does Marc's. If anyone has any information about whether Giant Eagle offers accessible prescription labels, please let me know.
