Community Health is expanding its pharmacy services in Rutland with the upcoming acquisition of Beauchamp & O’Rourke Pharmacy on Woodstock Avenue, furthering its commitment to providing accessible, high-quality pharmaceutical care across the region. The transition will complement Community Health’s existing community pharmacy in Brandon.
The need for expanded pharmacy access has grown as limited hours and staffing challenges impact many local pharmacies. Community Health aims to eventually operate the new pharmacy from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., seven days a week.
“Providing care and services that are accessible to all people builds a stronger community,” said Mike Gardner, CEO at Community Health.
Beauchamp & O’Rourke Pharmacy, known for its personalized care and dedication to customer service, aligns closely with Community Health’s mission. The pharmacy will close at the end of the day on July 31, reopening as Community Pharmacy on August 4 with prescription fulfillment, medication counseling, local delivery, and medication affordability assistance through the sliding fee discount program.
“Some of the staff will be the same trusted individuals you were used to seeing. There will also be some new faces of staff who will be excited to get to know you,” said Gardner. “We will offer a modern pharmacy with old-fashioned service.”
Patients will also benefit from coordinated care with Community Health providers, making it easier to manage overall health and wellness.
Community Health is Vermont’s largest Federally Qualified Health Center, providing primary care, pediatric, behavioral health, dental, and pharmacy services at locations across the region.
