ScriptYourFuture.org, the campaign’s centerpiece site, went live and audience members were introduced to the website’s many features, including free text message medication reminders, sample questions to ask health care professionals, lists and charts to keep track of medicines, videos on how to properly use certain medical devices, and fact sheets on chronic conditions like asthma and high cholesterol.

NCL also debuted two campaign television spots: a PSA featuring the Surgeon General and the motivational, patient-focused “I Will” ad.
