NOVASCRIPTS--Doing Good in the Neighborhood

NOVA ScriptsCentral:
Prescription for Northern Virginia's Uninsured
NOVA ScriptsCentral is a pharmacy unlike any you've ever known
It is a nonprofit, collaborative pharmacy, providing life-saving medications for uninsured children and adults throughout the Northern Virginia region. Its safety-net clinic partners provide the health care, and NOVA provides the medication support and the pharmacist counseling.
$30 million of medications have been provided to the most vulnerable in our communities and they've only just begun! It's the only one of its kind in the state of Virginia and in the metropolitan region, and is a national model for pharmaceutical care for the uninsured.
NOVA Scripts is cost-effective. The model is based on research of best-practices and focuses on economy of scale: many clinics sharing one pharmacy for the benefit of all, rather than each clinic developing their own pharmacy.
See Drug Topics upcoming issue for an in-depth article on NOVA.
