COLUMBUS, Ohio--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jane Pauley Community Health Center (JPCHC) and AndHealth will celebrate the opening of JPCHC’s retail and specialty pharmacy on May 8th, 2024. The ribbon cutting marks the expansion of pharmacy services where patients can access prescription, specialty, and over-the-counter medications, regardless of insurance coverage or income. JPCHC’s in-house specialty pharmacy services are powered by a partnership with AndHealth, an Ohio-based healthcare company that helps CHCs radically improve access and outcomes to specialty care. Hoosiers can now fill their specialty prescriptions directly through JPCHC’s specialty pharmacy, where affordable specialty medications are available to all patients under JPCHC’s sliding fee scale. “At Jane Pauley Community Health Center, we have always maintained a focus on providing whole-person care to the communities we serve. Our patients can now access a comprehensive suite of services that include our low-cost pharmacy services, primary and specialty care, as well as behavioral health, dental services, pediatrics, OB/GYN, food pantries, and community resource navigation assistance and language services – all regardless of insurance status,” said Jane Pauley Community Health Center CEO Marc Hackett

Through this partnership, Jane Pauley Community Health Center will be among the leading CHCs partnered with AndHealth to offer high quality and affordable in-house specialty care and specialty pharmacy services, helping to address the specialty care access crisis that disproportionately impacts medically underserved populations and increases costs and disease burden for the healthcare system.
