On-site pharmacy
WARREN
Valley Counseling Services, along with Genoa, a QOL Healthcare Company, will have a grand opening at noon Friday at 150 E. Market St. to celebrate the addition of a full-service, on-site pharmacy to their provision of care.
VCS considers it is important to increase access to care and remove barriers to service. New clients needing assistance do not need to wait for an appointment; they can walk-in during normal business hours, see a therapist for a diagnostic assessment and then a prescriber for an evaluation.
With the pharmacy on site, clients have the ability to leave with their medication in hand, which is offered by Genoa at deeply discounted prices.
