Celebrating our 2nd Anniversary
OUR HEARTS ARE FILLED WITH GRATITUDE AND GRACE
Thank you to our friends and supporters who attended our 2nd Anniversary Celebration.
LETTER FROM OUR FOUNDERS
Pharmacy of Grace is thrilled to be celebrating our second anniversary this summer. Did you know the traditional 2nd-anniversary gift is cotton? It symbolizes both comfort and strength, which is also what we have been offering our patients for the last two years. The comfort we offer is the security of knowing that they can afford their medications without having to choose between their prescriptions and gas in their car or groceries for their family. The strength we offer is the improved quality of life every time they pick up their prescription and keep them on track to a healthier future.
Since we opened in the summer of 2022, we have experienced incredible growth. So far this year, we have filled almost as many prescriptions from January through June as we filled in all of 2023! Back in January, we celebrated our 10,000th prescription filled, andonly seven months later in August we celebrated 20,000 prescriptions filled.
Out of 1,980totalunique patients we have served since we opened, 69% are living below the federal poverty limit.
- 79.5% of patients are 25-65 years old
- 60.1% Female / 39.8% Male
The closing of Duchesne Clinic (Caritas) in Wyandotte County contributed to this growth in 2024. When the clinic closed, it sent 250 new patients and 1,000 new prescriptions to us within a few weeks. These patients were uninsured, living in poverty, and some were homeless. Our Grace Meds program was there to help them through this transition and ensure they stayed on their medications.
As we look forward, we know we will continue to grow. We’re prepared for that growth thanks to our exceptional staff. We are also excited about forming new and strengthening current community partnerships throughout the metro to serve patients. We will also be expanding our immunization program to reach more people with our immunization pharmacist hired this year (read more about that below.)
We hope you will continue with us on this journey and support us as we grow to meet the critical needs in our community.
Sincerely,
Sara and John Yost
Founders, Pharmacy of Grace
