Pharmacy Desert? Not Here.

FHC provides local pharmacy services to  the public in Grant and White Cloud

A recent article in the New York Times spoke to the closing of pharmacies, particularly in smaller towns, creating  “pharmacy deserts”. Locally, Baars in Fremont and Rite Aid in Grant (nee Larson's Rexall) have closed and Rite Aid in Fremont shut their doors late in 2023.

While Fremont continues to have options locally, the loss in Grant hits a community with a high percentage of older adults who tend to take more medications than younger people. Fortunately, there is still an all service pharmacy in town operated by Family Health Care.
And no, you do not need to be a patient of FHC to take advantage of the services they offer. The pharmacy is open to the public.

As a Community Health Center, Family Health Care is backed by federal and state programs, allowing them to serve now and into the future. Using a Family Health Care pharmacy provides you with peace of mind, knowing that your prescriptions will not be sold or transferred. Switching your prescriptions is easy as well..Just make a visit to the FHC pharmacy and share your prescriptions and they will handle the rest.

Beyond providing prescribed medications, the pharmacy offers special discounts and pricing, curbside pickup, online refills, free delivery within 10 miles and so much more. They accept most major insurances and offer a sliding fee to help ensure those with limited income can receive the medications they need. Their registered Pharmacists can provide medication reviews as well as tips on when and how to take them.In addition, immunizations are available on a walk-in basis.
​
The speculation continues as to what will occupy the now vacant Rite Aid building in downtown Grant, but there should be little concern over the town becoming a pharmacy desert. There’s an oasis available just down the street at Family Health Care.
And they aren’t going anywhere.
