Neergaard Pharmacy Hosts Free Healthcare Week, Offering Free Doctor Visits

BROOKLYN, N.Y. - Oct. 22, 2024 - PRLog -- Neergaard Pharmacy, a trusted Brooklyn institution since 1901, is hosting Free Healthcare Week from October 20-27. This initiative offers free online doctor visits, giving Brooklyn residents access to expert care without the need for appointments or long waits.

A Busy Mom's Breakthrough

For busy Brooklyn moms like Laura, her pharmacy has always been a go-to for birth control, vaccines or advice. But when she noticed a suspicious spot on her skin, she hesitated to seek help, worried about taking time off work.

"I was anxious about the spot," Laura said. "But with my job and kids, appointments felt impossible."

Laura connected with a doctor in minutes through her pharmacy's chat service. "The whole process took less than 15 minutes, and the doctor reassured me it wasn't serious," she said. The doctor even arranged a follow-up with a dermatologist through Well Revolution's network.

Bringing Doctors into the Pharmacy

Michael Rubio, Chief Medical Officer at Well Revolution, highlights the role pharmacies play in healthcare. "Patients see pharmacists more frequently than doctors. Bringing doctors into the pharmacy eliminates the need for multiple appointments."

One previous Free Healthcare Week participant shared, "I didn't need to leave the pharmacy to get everything handled—doctor visit, prescription, all in one stop."

Community Impact

Neergaard Pharmacy is introducing expanded healthcare access through this event. "We're proud to be part of the community for decades," said Lisa, Neergaard's pharmacy manager. "We're honored to be trusted by our patients time and again."

Michael Rubio added, "Pharmacists do more than just fill prescriptions. They're an essential part of the care team, helping to keep care local and strengthening our community."
