Recently, one of our providers learned that a patient was paying nearly $300 per month for their prescriptions. After a quick chat with our pharmacy team, they discovered the patient could reduce their medication costs to $20 per month by using FCHC’s new pharmacy!

FCHC’s new pharmacy unlocks new ways to access the medications you need. Our pharmacy prices consistently beat big box store pharmacies and can even mail or deliver your prescription to your door!

Call us today at 740-277-6043 to see if you can save on prescriptions. If our pharmacy isn’t the most affordable option for you, our team will pass along your prescription to your current pharmacy.

What are the signs and symptoms of breast cancer?

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), symptoms may include one or more of the following:

- A painless lump or thickening of the breast tissue
- Changes in size, shape or appearance of the breast
- Skin changes such as redness, dimpling, or pitting
- Changes in appearance of the ni**le or ar**la
- Abnormal fluid from the ni**le (other than breast milk in pregnant women)

Routine self-examinations at home can help identify breast cancer at an early stage. Most breast lumps are not cancerous, according to the WHO, although patients who do find an abnormal lump are encouraged to seek medical care right away to rule out cancer. Breast cancers may spread to other areas of the body and trigger additional symptoms.

Schedule an appointment with one of our providers at 740-277-6043; All insurances are accepted, including Medicaid and Medicare, while some patients may qualify for our income-based sliding fee scale. No one is turned away because of their coverage or ability to pay at Fairfield Community Health Center.
