Ozarks Healthcare is rolling out RXInform, a new text-message tool designed to make managing your medications easier. 💊📱

When a prescription is sent to the pharmacy, patients with a cell phone number on file will receive a text that includes the prescribing provider’s name, the medication, and the pharmacy where it was sent, helping take the guesswork out of where to pick it up.

RXInform messages are free to patients (standard messaging rates may apply), and patients can opt out at any time.

This is just one more way Ozarks Healthcare is improving communication and supporting patients with clear, timely information to help manage their health with confidence.

RSV, flu, and COVID are still circulating - and a few simple steps can go a long way in protecting yourself and those around you. 🦠

Prevention starts with everyday habits that help slow the spread of illness, especially for young children, older adults, and those with weakened immune systems. Staying informed, being mindful of symptoms, and taking action early can help keep our community healthier this season.
