Free Doctor Visits and Prescriptions in Long Island City, Queens

LONG ISLAND CITY, N.Y. - Dec. 2, 2024 - PRLog -- City Chemist, an independent pharmacy in Long Island City, New York, is launching a new online doctor service for local residents. During Free Healthcare Week, December 2 - December 8, residents can try this service at no cost for a seamless, one-stop healthcare experience.

Transforming the Pharmacy Experience

Free Healthcare Week introduces Long Island City residents to in-pharmacy prescribing, where doctor consultations, prescriptions, and medications come together in one convenient solution. This service allows patients to connect with a doctor via text for consultations and prescriptions, eliminating extra trips and long waits.

For uninsured patients like Jessica, this service is a game-changer. "I texted a doctor, got thorough advice, and my prescriptions were ready at the pharmacy within a few minutes," she shared. "It saved me from worrying about costs or waiting at urgent care. Having care like this in our community makes such a difference!"

Bridging Medical and Pharmacy Services

This innovative service is powered by a partnership with Well Revolution, a tech-enabled provider of on-demand care. By integrating doctors into the pharmacy, City Chemist and Well Revolution eliminate the need for separate doctor visits and extended wait times.

"Bringing doctors into the pharmacy breaks down traditional barriers to healthcare access," explains Michael Rubio, Clinical Director at Well Revolution. "Patients can get care in minutes from a doctor they meet virtually via the pharmacy they know and trust, and leave with their medication in hand."

A Trusted Community Partner

City Chemist has become a valued healthcare partner in Long Island City, known for its commitment to wellness and personalized care. "At City Chemist, we believe healthcare should be simple and accessible for everyone," says Pharmacy Manager Peter LaFranca. "Hosting Free Healthcare Week allows us to show just how simple and patient-focused healthcare can be."

How to Access

From December 2 to December 8, Long Island City residents can access this free service by texting "FREE" to 646-233-3485. They'll receive a link to securely chat with a licensed provider who can assess conditions like colds, skin issues, infections, and more. Necessary prescriptions will be sent to City Chemist for pickup. After Free Healthcare Week, the service remains affordable at $49 per visit, with no insurance or appointments required.
