The aggregated savings data, which tracks savings by market and by day, found that more and more consumers are using the Watertree Health card to better afford their medications.

"As more people become aware of the benefits of our free card, they are taking advantage, which is clearly evident in the Q3 data," said Watertree Health President Shane Power. "The fact that our savings increased 44% this quarter versus the prior quarter shows a growing trend from coast to coast of the need for affordable medicine."
