Good Shepherd Health

Good Shepherd Health is a pharmacy in Memphis, TN. It operates as a nonprofit organization focused on improving medication accessibility for patients across the United States. The organization addresses barriers to prescription treatments, including high costs and wasted medication. Pharmacist Phil Baker founded the entity in 2015 to provide medications at-cost or free to members. The membership pharmacy serves more than 1,000 vulnerable patients with chronic conditions who cannot afford their medications. In 2018, the organization launched the RemediChain medication reclamation program, which rescues unused, unexpired medication in good condition to share with patients in need. Since then, the program has legally reclaimed and safely dispensed tens of millions of dollars worth of unused medication. In 2024, the Good Shepherd Health Institute advocacy program began operating as a collaborative hub for pharmacists, patients, providers, payers, and advocates. This initiative shares journalism, expert commentary, and research to highlight issues in the pharmaceutical and health care industries.

The location sits on South Cleveland Street, about a quarter mile from the Medical Arts Center. It is located a short distance from Union Avenue, Central High School, and Crump Stadium, all within a few blocks of the office. Peabody Avenue is also nearby, less than a third of a mile away.

Good Shepherd Health stands as a dedicated resource in Memphis for patients seeking affordable access to necessary prescription treatments and medication reclamation services.
