National pharmacy provider, Genoa Health Care company will open a walk-up pharmacy at the Visalia Integrated Mental Health Clinic on Tulare Avenue this summer.
Genoa partners with community-based providers, health plans and others as part of a coordinated care team. Genoa specializes in care of patient with behavioral health issues, often with complex health conditions.
The company says they are “dedicated to serving the needs of those in the behavioral health and substance use disorder communities, and others who have complex, chronic health conditions, Genoa is the largest provider of behavioral health pharmacy and clinical services for individuals with behavioral health and other complex, chronic health conditions in the U.S.”
With more than 20 years of experience, Genoa serves over one million individuals annually across the United States.
This would be the first location in Tulare County although they do have a location in Hanford partnering with Kingsview.
Tulare County Mental Health spokesperson Carrie Monteiro says the hope is that the on-site dispensary “can reduce the barriers” for patients who may face problems in getting their care. She says the new pharmacy, under construction now, should open by July.
The Visalia Adult Integrated Clinic is open 40 hours weekly with some 20 physicians offering 13 specialties.
Tulare County owns the large building there -the former Fairway Market location.
