Brock Hughes - 25 Years

Brock Hughes Clinic began participating as an RxP partner clinic in 2005 and has seen significant benefit for the organization’s patients since that time. As a result of the relationship with RxP, not only do patients have access to free prescription medications that treat a variety of chronic conditions, but the prescriptions can also be filled immediately, avoiding the 2-4 week wait that is common to individual Patient Assistance Programs. Brock Hughes Clinic received its certificate of recognition at the Rx Partnership 14th Annual Clinic Roundtable on September 25, 2019 at the offices of the Medical Society of Virginia in Richmond, Virginia. The Roundtable Training brings together representatives from free clinics across the state to network with colleagues, trade best practices, and learn about pharmacy regulations and updates in order to best serve patients. Founded in2003, RxPartnership isan innovativepublic-privatepartnershipcreatedto increaseaccess to freeprescription medications for low-income, uninsured Virginians by obtaining donated medication in bulk from pharmaceutical companies and arranging for distribution directly to nonprofit, licensed affiliate pharmacies. Rx Partnership launched a new program in April 2017 called the Access to Medication Program (AMP) to address the current challenges of procuring generic medications for low-income, uninsured patients at clinics without licensed pharmacies. Medications from Rx Partnership are used to treat a variety of chronic conditions, including asthma, diabetes, hypertension and high cholesterol. To date, Rx Partnership has helped over 70,000 patients receive 781,259 free prescriptions at a retail value of $200 million. For more information, visit www.RxPartnership.org.
