AUGUSTA, Ga.- A bus tour aimed at helping uninsured people get free medical help stopped in Augusta Friday morning

Partnership for Prescription Assistance made its way downtown with the "Help is Here Express" tour.

The program helps financially-strapped Georgians access information on programs that provide free or low-cost prescription medicines.

The bus tour is part of a nationwide effort sponsored by America’s pharmaceutical research companies.

They did advertise it ahead of time, calling community centers throughout the Augusta area a week before the event to let them know about it. Fliers were posted throughout town promoting the event, as well.

I read about this at 1pm, not enough time to notify anyone and for them to get down there, and where? Was this advertised ahead of time?
