When you are discharged from Flagstaff Medical Center (FMC) or Verde Valley Medical Center (VVMC), there is no need to stop at a busy pharmacy on your way home. Through our Meds-in-Hand program, we can smooth your transition by preparing your discharge prescriptions before you leave the hospital.
At FMC, medications are delivered directly to your bedside before discharge. At VVMC, prescriptions are prepared and available for convenient pick up before you leave. In both locations, our pharmacists are available to answer any questions about your medications, prescription coverage or potential side effects so you can leave with peace of mind.
Benefits of the Meds in Hand Program:
- Convenience – Your prescriptions are filled and ready before discharge.
- No delays– Avoid waiting in line at an outside pharmacy.
- Medication counseling– A pharmacist will review your prescriptions with you.
- Insurance issues addressed– Coverage questions can be resolved before discharge.
- Access to uncommon medications – If a medication is not readily available, a short supply will be provided until your regular pharmacy can fill it.
- Improved outcomes – Starting medications on time and understanding how to take them properly helps reduce the risk of complications and hospital readmission.
We are here to help you feel confident and supported as you continue your care at home.
