  • When, how and how long to take your medicine
  • The common side effects to expect and how to deal with them if they occur
  • Whether the medicine is safe to take if pregnant or breast-feeding (as appropriate)
  • How to store your medicine
  • How to properly dispose of any unused, discontinued or expired medicines
  • Medication refills

  1. Call the automated prescription refill line (AudioCare®) at 459-3807 (You will need to know your chart number and prescription number(s))

We with community health aides, doctors, physician assistants and nurse practitioners to provide pharmacy services to patients living in the villages. Your community health aide can treat many short term health problems using the medications stocked in the village clinic.

We ask that village-based patients no longer request their prescription refills through their health aides.
