Free Pharmacy at the Free Clinic.

In 2011, RIFC dispensed nearly 12,000 free generic drugs though our pharmacy, and provided additional brand name drugs free from the manufacturer through the Patient Assistance Program.

Philip Fong, one of Rhode Island Free Clinic’s volunteer pharmacists, finds the experience of providing free medications to uninsured patients to be both rewarding and refreshing. Unlike the retail business, he emphasizes, spending time at RIFC has allowed him to collaborate with other health professionals in the same vicinity. “It’s given me a sense of teamwork with all the other individuals on the site, including the translators, social workers, PAP representatives, and healthcare directors.”

Mr. Fong, who has worked for CVS pharmacy since 1975, is one of twenty-two volunteer pharmacists at RIFC. With their help, we dispensed over 8,000 free prescriptions in 2010 to our low-income patients.
