Community Pharmacy

This is a tiny pharmacy tucked into an alley in the South End. It’s part of the Walgreens chain, but unlike other locations, this place does prescriptions only, and doesn’t sell chips/​phone cards/​shampoo/​whatever else.
It seems that they take the «Community» name pretty seriously. They have services to help people out who might have trouble taking their meds, or staying safe in general. There are free sharps disposal containers available, and a dropoff spot for filled ones. Also, I saw on the counter that for people taking multiple medications, the pharmacy can put pills into a blister pack book, so each day has the proper number of each pill divided up into separate compartments for morning/​noon/​evening/​bedtime. There were free condoms (both male and female) and lube samples, various local periodicals, and lots of literature on living with HIV/​AIDS and LGBTQ health in general, in English and Spanish.
The huge upside to getting prescriptions filled here is the outstanding customer service. The pharmacy tech and then the pharmacist worked with me to get me the cheapest possible price for my prescription, going through several layers of discounts and checking insurance coverage for different quantities, etc. They were super helpful and accommodating, and willing to look up different options that I suggested. I’ll get a text message when my prescription is ready to be picked up.
I don’t care if I can buy Cheez-​Whiz at the same time as getting my prescriptions filled, but I do care that the staff here at Community Pharmacy are exceptionally competent and kind, and provide a high level of service to the community.
