Where You Pick Up Your Medication Matters

Apr 7, 2026

When your provider prescribes medication, your next step might seem simple, choose a pharmacy and pick it up.

Savings: Making Medications More Affordable

Care Resource participates in the federal 340B Drug Pricing Program, which allows health centers to purchase medications at significantly reduced prices.

That means we can help lower costs and remove barriers for patients who may otherwise struggle to afford prescriptions.

When you use a Care Resource pharmacy, you may benefit from:

  • Lower-cost medications
  • Assistance with copays and insurance
  • Support for uninsured patients through sliding fee options

These savings help ensure that cost doesn’t stand in the way of your health.


Impact: Strengthening Care for the Whole Community

Here’s what makes your choice powerful:

When prescriptions are filled at a Care Resource pharmacy, the savings generated through programs like 340B are reinvested back into patient care and community services.

That support helps fund:

  • Access to affordable or free medications
  • Preventive care and screenings
  • Behavioral health and substance use services
  • Transportation and patient support programs
  • Mobile health services that reach underserved communities

Your prescription doesn’t just help you, it helps expand care for thousands of others.


A Simple Choice That Makes a Big Difference

Choosing a Care Resource pharmacy is one small decision that delivers real benefits:

Convenience – Pharmacy services connected to your care team
Savings – Lower-cost prescriptions and financial support
Impact – Invests back into community programs and patient care
