Pharmacy for the Public Good
Pharmacy For the Public Good (PPG) is America's first Not-For-Profit community pharmacy.
Our goal is to provide a "Patient Centered" hometown Wellness Center with a holistic approach. We thrive on our ability to offer natural medicine and services ranging from minor injuries to helping someone emotionally.
This innovative approach relies on donations, grants, and store revenue to compensate for the low reimbursement received from the filling of prescription medications.
When you make a tax-exempt donation or volunteer to help “PPG” achieve its goals, here’s what you are helping to produce for our community. Call it your personal return on Investment (ROI):
- A sustainable Wellness Center and community pharmacy on Main Street Phoenicia that cannot be sold or closed without the approval of a not-for-profit Board of Directors. Wellness Rx will be the Town of Shandaken’s pharmacy.
- Community access to natural products and wellness services, free consultations and triage assistance with minor emergencies such as rashes, bug bites, burns and wounds.
- Community access to free or low cost wellness programs like nutritional counseling and public health services such as vaccinations and mental health/substance abuse coordination and referrals.
- Opportunities for internships and training of local students, hosting of community health care initiatives, Wellness Rx Special Reports, public speaking engagements, a Community Bulletin Board and providing community access to a trusted health care team.
- A Wellness Center with a mission of “being of service to others” and “treating everyone equally regardless of their income, race sex or religion.” A Patient Assistance Fund (PAF) helps anyone in need.
-Visibility for Phoenicia, NY as the first not-for-profit community pharmacy in America. Model can be replicated by other communities throughout the Hudson Valley and nationally.
- A beautiful and artistic Wellness Center and community pharmacy that allows our kids to enjoy a friendly and safe environment where they are respected and celebrated.
- A local Grand Central Station for our residents, second home owners, tourists, hybrid employees and guests to our resorts, hotels and training/spiritual centers.
- A local tourist attraction and economic engine for community development.
- A flexible Wellness Center that can adapt to local needs and plan for the future.
