“Middlesex County’s departments and services touch the lives of all who live here,” said Rios. “This Services Fair is a perfect way to introduce or further inform our residents about all the ways we can help them with specific needs and ultimately raise their quality of life.”
Rios also will announce Middlesex County’s Prescription Drug Discount Card Program, which is designed to help lower prescription drug costs for individuals who pay the full cash price for their medications.
