Individuals served on a first come, first served basis each day.

Those helped by the SVDP Charitable Pharmacy primarily include the working poor who cannot afford prescription insurance, those who have lost their jobs and those with Medicare coverage who have reached a gap in their coverage or have so many prescriptions they cannot afford pharmacy co-pays. Others need temporary assistance as they try to secure coverage or qualify for other assistance programs.

A. Up to a 30-day supply of medication can be given per visit. If there are refills on the original prescription, they can be dispensed every 30 days until the number of refills or certification period expires.

Q. Can a pharmacist review my prescriptions and make Sure they all make sense and will work in combination?

A. A pharmacist is available to counsel and assist patients with any problems associated with drug therapy, including continued availability and adverse effects. To assist in this process, it is helpful to bring a printout of all medication you are currently taking.
