Free Pharmacy

Ran across this neat concept that has started here in Nashville as an offshoot of St. Thomas Hospital. The idea is that those who are in need of prescriptions but are unable to afford them should still have access. The Dispensary of Hope accomplishes this by partnering with pharma to collect unused samples and drugs as they near the end of their shelf-life. Instead of allowing these drugs to run to their end and not be utilized, they distribute them out to the less fortunate. It’s a noble cause and one well worth taking a look at.
