City Chemist offering free doctor visits & prescriptions to Brooklyn residents during Free Healthcare Week, Nov 10-17
Brooklyn, NY – November 10, 2024 – City Chemist, a trusted pharmacy in Williamsburg, is introducing a new online doctor service that redefines healthcare accessibility for the local community. From November 10-17, residents of Brooklyn can enjoy free online doctor visits and prescription services as part of Free Healthcare Week. This initiative offers an all-in-one, streamlined healthcare experience from the familiar setting of City Chemist, located at 335 Graham Ave.
Transforming the Pharmacy Experience
Free Healthcare Week allows Brooklyn residents to experience the benefits of in-pharmacy prescribing, where doctor consultations, prescriptions, and medications come together in a single, accessible location. City Chemist's new service connects patients with a doctor via text for a consultation and to receive prescriptions—all without extra trips or long waits.
For patients like Sylvia, this service has changed how she views healthcare. “I was able to text with a doctor right from the pharmacy, get thoughtful advice about my symptoms, and pick up my prescription on the spot,” she shared. “It saved me waiting at the clinic, and I was surprised by how easy and thorough the process was. Knowing there’s accessible care like this in our community makes a huge difference. This truly feels like the future of healthcare!”
Bridging the Gap Between Medical and Pharmacy Services
This innovative in-pharmacy prescribing service is made possible through a partnership with Well Revolution, a tech-enabled on-demand primary and specialty care provider. By integrating doctors into the pharmacy, City Chemist and Well Revolution eliminate the need for separate doctor visits and extended wait times.
Michael Rubio, PA-C, Clinical Director at Well Revolution, explains, “Bringing doctors into the pharmacy breaks down traditional barriers to healthcare access. With in-pharmacy prescribing, patients no longer need to navigate multiple appointments or locations. They can get care in minutes from a doctor they meet virtually, right at the pharmacy they know and trust, and leave with their medication in hand.”
A Community-Centered Approach to Healthcare
For Robert, Pharmacy Manager at City Chemist Williamsburg, creating a one-stop healthcare experience is about serving the needs of the Brooklyn community. “We want healthcare to feel personal and easy to access. Hosting Free Healthcare Week is our way of showing our community how simple healthcare can be when it’s local and patient-focused.”
How to Access Free Care
From November 10-17, Brooklyn residents can access this free online doctor service by texting “CITY” to 646-233-3485. They will receive a link to start a secure chat with a licensed provider, who can assess common conditions such as colds, skin issues, infections, and more. Necessary prescriptions are sent to City Chemist for pickup. After Free Healthcare Week, the service remains affordable at $49 per visit, with no appointments or insurance required.
