Community Health Expands Pharmacy Access 

 Rutland, VT  – Community Health is proud to announce the expansion of its pharmaceutical services with the upcoming acquisition of Beauchamp & O’Rourke Pharmacy, a well-established and trusted pharmacy on Woodstock Ave. in Rutland. This addition strengthens Community Health’s commitment to providing accessible, high-quality pharmacy services across the region and complements the existing Community Pharmacy located in Brandon.

Access to pharmacies has been in the news with limited hours and staffing concerns. Community Health’s goal is to eventually have the Pharmacy open from 8am to 8pm, seven days a week.

“Providing care and services that are accessible to all people builds a stronger community,” said Mike Gardner, CEO at Community Health.



"A Modern Pharmacy with Old-Fashioned Service"

Beauchamp & O’Rourke Pharmacy has long served the Rutland community with personalized care and a strong dedication to customer service, values that align closely with Community Health’s mission. The acquisition will enable a seamless transition of care and ongoing support for our community.

“Some of the staff will be the same trusted individuals you were used to seeing. There will also be some new faces of staff who will be excited to get to know you,” said Gardner. “We will offer a modern pharmacy with old-fashioned service.”

Beauchamp & O’Rourke Pharmacy will close at the end of day on July 31, and the new Community Pharmacy will open on August 4, 2025, with services that include prescription fulfillment, medication counseling, local delivery, and assistance with medication affordability through our Sliding Fee Discount Program. Patients can also benefit from coordinated care with their Community Health providers, making it easier to manage overall health and wellness.
