City Chemist is introducing a new online doctor service with Free Doctor Visits and Prescriptions in Long Island City, Queens, New York
Long Island City, NY – December 2, 2024 – City Chemist LIC, an independent pharmacy in Long Island City, New York, is unveiling 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, combining doctor consultations, prescriptions, and medications in a single, convenient solution. City Chemist’s new service connects patients with a doctor via text for consultations and prescriptions—all without extra trips or long waits.
For uninsured patients like Jessica, this service has been a lifesaver. “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
In-pharmacy prescribing is made possible through a partnership with Well Revolution, a tech-enabled provider of on-demand primary and specialty care. By integrating doctors into the pharmacy experience, 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 multiple appointments or locations. They 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, the pharmacy takes pride in serving the community. “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 start a secure chat with a licensed provider, who can assess conditions like colds, skin issues, infections, and more. Any necessary prescriptions will be sent directly to City Chemist for pickup. After Free Healthcare Week, the service remains affordable at $49 per visit, with no appointments or insurance required.
