October 2020

Wytheville, VA – Brock Hughes Clinic was recently recognized for its role in dispensing approximately $16,360,015.00, to date, in free prescription medication for low income, uninsured patients through participation with the statewide nonprofit Rx Partnership (RxP). For more than fifteen years, RxP, a nonprofit public/private partnership that supports the health care safety net, has led the effort to increase access to free prescriptionmedications for Virginia’s eligible uninsured through clinic partners throughout the state.

“Safety-net health clinics have played an essential role during the COVID-19 pandemic,” said Amy Yarcich, Executive Director of Rx Partnership. “In addition to enhanced education about and testing for the coronavirus, clinics are still providing vulnerable patients access to the vital services and medications they need to manage their ongoing health conditions.” 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.

Pharmacy Technician Denise Dunford and Pharmacist in Charge, Sandra Clarke, PharmD, accepted the certificate.
