New Athens Neighborhood Health Center Grand Opening

John Roark, The Athens-Banner Herald

Athens Neighborhood Health Center will celebrate the grand opening of its new pharmacy on Tuesday. 
Mayor Kelly Girtz will preside over the Feb. 19 open house.

Tours of the new location will be conducted all day from 8 p.m. to 6 p.m. with a ribbon cutting ceremony at 11 a.m.

The ANHC pharmacy is able to provide “drastically reduced drug prices,” thanks to subsidies from pharmaceutical manufacturers and the federal government.

Patients with maintenance drugs costing as much as $600 to $900 monthly have seen reductions to $150 to $200 monthly, according to ANHC.

People looking to access the ANHC pharmacy must receive their primary care at the health center.

The open house will be held at 402 Mckinley Drive. For more information, visit the ANHC website.
