Free Doctor Visits and Prescriptions Available in Queens During Free Healthcare Week

Queens, NY – January 2025 – Briarwood Drugs, an independent pharmacy in Queens, New York, is launching a new online doctor service for local residents. During Free Healthcare Week, January 13 - January 19, residents can try this service at no cost for a seamless, one-stop healthcare experience.

Transforming the Pharmacy Experience

Free Healthcare Week introduces Briarwood residents to in-pharmacy prescribing, combining doctor consultations, prescriptions, and medications in a single, convenient solution. This service allows patients to connect 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, Briarwood Drugs and Well Revolution eliminate the need for separate doctor visits and extended wait times.

Michael Rubio, PA-C, Medical 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 at the pharmacy they know and trust, and leave with their medication in hand."

A Trusted Community Partner

Briarwood Drugs has become a valued healthcare partner in the Queens community. Known for its commitment to local, personalized care, the pharmacy takes pride in serving the neighborhood. “At Briarwood Drugs, we believe healthcare should be simple and accessible for everyone,” says pharmacy owner Khaim Kalontarov. “Hosting Free Healthcare Week allows us to show just how simple and patient-focused healthcare can be.”

How to Access

From January 9 to January 13, Queens 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. Any necessary prescriptions will be sent directly to Briarwood Drugs for pickup. 

After Free Healthcare Week, the service remains available and affordable with two convenient options:

• $49 per visit with no appointments or insurance required.
• $29/month membership for unlimited text and talk with a personal doctor for advice, prescriptions, refills and referrals.
