October is American Pharmacists Month, a celebration in support of pharmacists around the country.  In honor of our dedicated team of over 250 Food City pharmacists, we're proud to make a $2,500 donation to The Health Wagon of Wise, VA.

The Health Wagon is a nurse practitioner managed clinic that has been in existence since 1980 which provides free medical, dental, and vision healthcare services in Lee, Scott, Wise, Dickenson, Buchanan, and Russell Counties and Norton City. The Health Wagon’s mission is to provide compassionate, quality health care to the medically underserved people in the Mountains of Appalachia. Their values are inclusiveness, community outreach, collaboration, spirituality, and empowerment.
