Charitable Pharmacy

The Pharmacy has been a life saver for me. The people here have been very courteous to me, helpful, and kind hearted.  I hope this program does not stop. I know of no other program like this one. A Charitable Pharmacy patient

The St. Vincent de Paul Charitable Pharmacy, opened in September 2006, to offer free, professional pharmaceutical care to those who could not otherwise afford their prescription medication throughout Hamilton, Clermont, Warren and Butler counties. Due to the continued economic challenges resulting in more widespread job losses and those with little or no healthcare coverage, volume is increasing at a rapid rate. To date, the Charitable Pharmacy  has filled nearly 100,000 prescriptions for those in need with a total estimated retail value of about $10 million.

The Charitable Pharmacy is currently open every Monday, Wednesday and Thursday at 8:00 a.m. to certify up to 10 new clients each day for up to six months of prescription coverage. Patients are seen each morning on a first come, first served basis and should plan to arrive early in order to be one of the first 10 clients. We also have limited afternoon appointments available for patients who work full time or who are severely disabled and unable to stand in line in the morning.

 The Charitable Pharmacy is also open on Saturdays from 8:30am to 12:00pm (noon) for currently certified clients seeking re-fills or new prescriptions. About 90% of all prescription requests are able to be filled or find a viable therapeutic substitute. Overall health is promoted through a complete vital check, education about each prescription and referrals for a primary care physician.
