Pharmacy
Like our primary clinical services, our pharmacy serves you with courtesy and respect. Your Floating Hospital pharmacist consults directly with your providers to ensure your medication treatment plan is customized to your needs. If you are treated at our main healthcare center in Long Island City, you can take your medications with you after your appointment. If you are at one of our other sites, we can deliver your prescriptions to you for free.
Our participation in the 340B Drug Pricing Program means we can help you afford your medication. If you are uninsured or under-insured, ask your Floating Hospital provider or pharmacist about obtaining prescription medications at significantly reduced prices.
