Heartland Community Health Center in Lawrence, Kansas, recently launched River City Pharmacy, making low-cost 340B pharmaceutical services available to eligible patients. Patients can walk in or use a drive-through service to pick up prescription drugs.
Heartland’s new pharmacy is just the latest in a series of outreach efforts over the years. For example, the center has mobile dental health services with programs at more than 90 schools in 10 counties, said Dr. Mollie Day, the chief dental officer. Four full-time dentists make the rounds in this dynamic outreach effort. “We go way beyond colocation and offer comprehensive care,” Day said.
