A Health Center & A Pharmacy

Health Services of North Texas (HSNT) and ReNue Rx Pharmacy are doing something amazing for their patients: having a health center and pharmacy in the same location. This is an incredible service for patients because of the continuity of care with the provider and the pharmacy having the ability to work closely together, in real-time to determine the best medication therapy that is also affordable.

These two organizations have partnered together to make prescription drugs both affordable and accessible. For someone without health insurance, a basic but necessary prescription can cost upwards of $400. At ReNue Rx Pharmacy, the cost is closer to $40. Much more affordable. And it's connected to the health center where it would be prescribed by a doctor. ReNue Rx will use all resources available to “shop” for the best pricing discounts available to the patient. Patients will always be offered the lowest price available. Not only that, but patients are more likely to pick up prescriptions if they do not have to make a second trip to another location.

We're proud that this is happening at Serve Denton. It's another example of what is possible when nonprofits work together and funds are saved through colocation. More people receive better help.

As Doreen Rue, CEO of HSNT said, "It's a win-win for everyone, especially the community.
