Congratulations, Table Rock Pharmacy!

Table Rock Pharmacy was selected for its proactive, solutions-driven approach to improving community health outcomes. As North Carolina’s first pharmacy to be certified as a yellow fever vaccine site—and the first in Burke County to provide long-acting injectable services, A1C testing, and hormonal contraceptive prescribing—the pharmacy has played a crucial role in closing healthcare gaps and expanding access to essential services.

Its commitment was especially evident during Hurricane Helene. Despite widespread power outages, owners Michael Stout and Jessi Stout, PharmD, kept the pharmacy operational. She and her husband transported a generator by wheelbarrow to preserve refrigerated medications and manually recorded payment information to ensure patients could receive their prescriptions. Stout also issued temporary scripts for patients whose providers were unable to operate. In addition, the pharmacy team coordinated with local physicians and volunteers to supply emergency medications to those in need. Their efforts included donating medicines and partnering with pharmacies across North Carolina to transport them to inaccessible areas through Operation Streamline.
