Community Health & Wellness Partners (CHWP) announced today that the opening of its new community pharmacy is set for December 2. Located at the Bellefontaine Community Health Center, the pharmacy will serve as an extension of the pharmacy services that CHWP has provided for over nine years.
Since 2015, patients have benefited from medication affordability, education, and therapy. CHWP will continue to offer discounted pharmaceutical prices on qualifying medications, now with the additional convenience of an on-site location. Patients can also take advantage of delivery services, either directly to their home within Champaign or Logan County or a more convenient CHWP location for pick up, including one of their school-based health centers.
“Meeting our patients where they are and providing comprehensive care to all our patients is our driving force. We work hard to remove barriers and make care accessible to anyone and everyone,” said Tara Bair, President and CEO at CHWP. “We are the provider of choice for our community, so it only makes sense to further integrate our services with an on-site pharmacy. Because of our facilities and services, healthcare is more accessible, and affordable and we can advocate for the wellbeing of our community.”
Services will continue to grow to meet the needs of CHWP patients and the community. Unique to CHWP’s Pharmacies, when a patient visits their provider, they can fill prescriptions in one convenient visit. Additional services will include pharmacy consultation, medication box refills, and monitoring of chronic disease management such as heart disease, diabetes, and hypertension.
The CHWP pharmacy team will be made up of two clinical pharmacists, two community (retail) pharmacists, and support staff.
