Promise Healthcare is excited to announce the upcoming construction of a new pharmacy at our Frances Nelson Health Center.

The new pharmacy will serve Promise Healthcare patients and community members alike, providing greater access to affordable and convenient prescription services. Importantly, you do not need to be a Promise Healthcare patient to utilize the pharmacy.

Construction is scheduled to begin in February and is expected to open late this summer.
“As the CEO, I am thrilled to announce the beginning construction for our new pharmacy at Promise Healthcare-Frances Nelson,” states Jennifer Henry, Promise Healthcare’s CEO. “This addition will significantly enhance our ability to provide comprehensive, accessible, and high-quality healthcare services to our community. The integration of pharmacy services within our clinic will ensure that our patients receive seamless care, improve medication management, and add the convenience of having all their healthcare needs met in one place. This project is a major step forward in our commitment to improving health outcomes and supporting the well-being of our community.”

The new pharmacy will enhance the services available at Frances Nelson Health Center, aligning with Promise Healthcare’s commitment to removing barriers to care and supporting the health and well-being of the community.

"The new pharmacy is a great step forward in enhancing patient care,” says Compliance Manager Emily McKay. “It will provide easier access to medications and support our patients in achieving better health."

Having an on-site pharmacy ensures patients can fill their prescriptions conveniently after a medical appointment, reducing delays in starting treatment. It also expands access to affordable medications for underserved populations. Federally Qualified Health Center pharmacies often provide medications at reduced costs through programs like the 340B Drug Pricing Program, making treatment more affordable for low-income and uninsured individuals.
