Prescription Delivery Service: Providence Family Medicine-
Vernonia has a program for free delivery of prescriptions. This
has been in place for some time and has proven to be a valuable
service. However, patients sometimes fail to pick them up at the
clinic, and this is becoming a problem; the clinic staff is asking
patients to be sure to pick up their prescriptions up— this is very
important for the success of the program.
( Here’s how the system works: When you see a provider at the
clinic and medication is prescribed, you have the option of hav
ing the clinic order your prescription from High School Pharmacy
in Scappoose, and having it sent via courier to Vernonia without
charge. Delivery is within 24 hours (sometimes even the same
day). Prescriptions are recorded and distributed in the office in
Vernonia late in the day, and patients are notified by phone that
their prescriptions have arrived. If medications are not picked up
within 48 hours, they must be returned to the pharmacy. This
becomes a huge problem for everyone - but most importantly,
the patient is not receiving the medication needed. And returning
the prescriptions is a huge hassle, both for the clinic and for the
pharmacy. This is presenting a big stumbling block to this valu
able service.
Patients can be assured that the clinic will help solve any prob
lems regarding this issue. Is there an insurance or co-pay prob
lem? Or prescriptions not covered by insurance? Or a financial
difficulty or hardship? Or you just can’t get in to pick the medicine
up? Whatever the case, please call the clinic staff at 429-9191.
Providence can help sort through all this, so that their patients
are receiving medicines that are prescribed. The clinic wants to
find ways to make this program work more effectively; please call
the office if there are questions or comments.
Mammovan: The mammovan is in Vernonia one day every
month, and all women are encouraged to take advantage of this
convenience. Women over age 35 should have a mammogram
screening every 1-2 years, along with an annual checkup; over
age 50 a mammogram every year is recommended.
The next mammogram date in Vernonia is Wednesday, Feb
ruary 16. This is another of those rural health services that make
life much easier for us. And, it only takes 10-15 minutes! Call the
clinic for an appointment.
