The Eastern Iowa Health Center pharmacy is officially open for business! This marks an exciting new chapter for both the health center and the community. Not only will the pharmacy provide even better support for Eastern Iowa Health Center patients, but it also helps fill the gap created when the First Avenue Hy-Vee in Cedar Rapids closed last year.

The pharmacy, like all of Eastern Iowa Health Center's services, will be open to everyone in the community. Congratulations to the team on a successful grand opening! 🎉

Community is at the heart of everything we do at community health centers—and we don’t do it alone. To advance health and drive innovation, partnering with public, non-profit and industry partners is necessary.

We’re grateful for the strong Iowa partner network of schools, businesses, food banks, public housing and more—all working toward the same goal of a stronger, healthier state.

Community health centers (CHCs) are dedicated to breaking down barriers to care—by meeting people where they are and understanding what they truly need. That means more than just treating symptoms.

Whether it’s providing translation services, transportation support, or addressing needs like mental health and nutrition, CHC staff are building healthier communities—one patient at a time.
