Dispensing vs. Clinical Pharmacists

At NHC, our pharmacy team includes both dispensing and clinical pharmacists, each playing a key role in your care.

Dispensing Pharmacists fill and dispense prescriptions, ensure accuracy, and provide basic medication counseling. You’ll interact with dispensing pharmacists when picking up medications at a pharmacy such as our Canby location.

Clinical Pharmacists work directly with care teams and patients to manage complex medication needs. They help review prescriptions, monitor drug effectiveness, and adjust treatments for better outcomes. Clinical pharmacists are often found in our medical clinics, helping patients with chronic conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, and more.

Together, they help you stay safe, informed, and on track with your medications.

Financial Assistance

No insurance? No problem. We offer discounts on all our services and prescription medications. All patients are encouraged to apply.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why should I choose NHC as my pharmacy of choice?

Neighborhood Health Center has one dispensing pharmacy, located at our Canby clinic, as well as a pharmacy pickup locker at our Tanasbourne clinic for added convenience.
Choosing NHC as your pharmacy means convenient, compassionate, and cost-effective care. We offer affordable pricing and work with you to explore options if you need help covering prescription costs. Whether you need refills or have questions about your medications, our pharmacists are here to help.
We proudly serve people with OHP/Medicaid, Medicare, private insurance, and those without insurance, so everyone can access the medications they need.
Can non-NHC patients fill their prescriptions at an NHC pharmacy?
Yes. The NHC Canby Pharmacy is open to the public, and non-NHC patients are welcome to fill their prescriptions there.
The pharmacy pickup locker at our Tanasbourne clinic is available for prescription pickup, providing a convenient option for patients receiving care there.
Some pharmacy services—such as medication delivery, medication synchronization (MedSync), and integrated care support—are available only to NHC patients.

If you would like to become a patient, please call (503) 941-3033.

How do I refill a prescription through NHC?
Please call (503) 941-3160 for prescription refills of established non-narcotic medications. Please note that processing a medication refill may take up to 72 hours. Any new medications or narcotic medications require an in-person visit with your provider before filling them. If you cannot wait for a prescription refill, please visit an urgent care facility near you.
How do I sign up to use the pharmacy locker?
Tell a member of the pharmacy staff you would like to use the locker. They will confirm your contact information to ensure you receive the pickup codes.
How do I access the pharmacy locker?
The pharmacy locker is located at NHC Tanasbourne Medical & Dental Clinic. Its entrance is at the back of the medical office lobby (signage indicates where it is).
How do I use the pharmacy locker?
The pharmacy locker works similarly to an Amazon locker. You will receive an email or text when your prescription is ready for pickup. Once you’re at the locker, you can either input the code or scan the QR code you received. Then, you’ll enter your date of birth and sign. One of the doors will pop open with your prescription ready. Call the pharmacist at the provided number if you have any questions.

Why Taking Your Medication as Prescribed Matters More Than You Think

We've all been there. You're feeling better, life gets busy, or the medication causes an unpleasant side effect, and suddenly, a missed pill turns into a skipped week. It happens. But when it comes to many medications, consistency is everything.
