We are proud of what the Partnership for Prescription Assistance has accomplished in this short period of time. But our job isn't done.

Leadership is diving for a loose ball, getting the crowd involved, getting other players involved. It's being able to take it as well as dish it out. That's the only way you're going to get respect from the players.
