Minneapolis, April 08, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via NewMediaWire -- The Good Clinic, LLC (“The Good Clinic”, https://www.thegoodclinic.com/) a Minnesota-based integrative primary care clinic, is pleased to announce that it has partnered with InstyMeds Corp.

InstyMeds provides a fully automated, ATM-style dispensing system for outpatient acute prescriptions such as amoxicillin.

"When it comes to holistic healthcare planning, we take the notion of patient convenience seriously," said The Good Clinic’s Director of Clinical Services Kim Yung, DNP, CNP. "Our goal is to make it easier for our patients to not only access knowledgeable and compassionate healthcare providers, but also the medications they need to stay well."
The Good Clinic helps its customers shift the focus from sick care to well care with in-person and virtual appointments for acute care, primary care, women's health, and wellness planning. InstyMeds was started in Minnesota in 1999 with the premise that patients shouldn't have to work so hard to get the medications they urgently need.
"InstyMeds believes that patients should be able to start taking medications immediately after seeing their providers," said Robert Bang, vice president of sales and client services at InstyMeds. "We have dispensed more than 4 million prescriptions on three continents and are pleased to work with The Good Clinic to put prescriptions at patients' fingertips and improve their lives at the time of greatest need."
When access to prescriptions are limited, people’s health can be adversely impacted. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 20 to 30 percent of all new prescriptions written never get filled by patients. Despite the explosion of new retail pharmacy stores, mail-order drugs and addition of onsite walk-in clinics at chain pharmacies, primary non-adherence hasn’t improved. Studies show that primary medication adherence increases to 94+ percent from an industry average of 70 percent when prescriptions are filled right after receiving treatment. When more patients fill their medications, health outcomes improve.
"We built The Good Clinic because we want to partner with our customers to help them achieve a better quality of life," said Michael Howe, CEO of The Good Clinic. "The partnership with InstyMeds should help us fulfill our promise of a new future-focused healthcare concept committed to delivering primary care and wellness support with a unique balance of expertise, empathy, and engagement."
