GoodRx Launches Community Link to Offer Independent Pharmacies Cost-Plus Pricing
Community Link allows independent pharmacies to direct contract with GoodRx, manage participation in the company's Integrated Savings Program, and access over 90 brand medication partnership offerings Cost-plus pricing is anchored on NADAC Starting July 1, all independent pharmacies will be opted out of GoodRx's Integrated Savings Program by default SANTA MONICA, Calif., June 09, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--GoodRx (Nasdaq: GDRX), the leading platform for medication savings in the U.S., today announced the launch of GoodRx Community Link. Designed to address the industry challenges that independent community pharmacies face around complex reimbursement models and competitive pressures, Community Link leverages a cost-plus pricing model based on NADAC to provide predictable pricing and favorable economics. This announcement showcases GoodRx's commitment to helping independent pharmacies better manage pricing while continuing to provide consumers with affordable prices on their medications. "We know independent pharmacies are critical pillars in our communities that help millions of Americans access their medications and they need bespoke solutions to help address the industry problems they face," said Aaron Crittenden, President of Rx Marketplace at GoodRx. "GoodRx Community Link is the result of a multi-year journey to evolve the GoodRx business model and deliver solutions tailored to the specific needs of independent pharmacies. Ultimately, our goal with Community Link is to help improve the retail pharmacy business model and support a bright future for the sector." Community Link enables independent pharmacies to: Direct Contract with GoodRx: Leverages cost-plus pricing anchored on NADAC to provide independent pharmacies with direct control over pricing and favorable margins. A direct contract means the pricing relationship is entirely between GoodRx and the pharmacy, with no PBM involvement. Entering into a direct agreement with GoodRx does not waive a pharmacy's right to participate in ongoing litigation against GoodRx. Manage Participation in GoodRx's Integrated Savings Program (ISP): When a direct contract is signed, independent pharmacies will have the ability to opt-in to ISP as an additional benefit of working with GoodRx. Starting July 1, all independent pharmacies will be opted out of ISP by default. ISP participation may offer more favorable rates than traditional commercial insurance reimbursement. Access Over 90 Brand Medication Deals: A unique offering where the manufacturer buys down the price of a brand medication via GoodRx, making it more affordable for the consumer and economically beneficial for the pharmacy. Examples include Lantus, a Humira® biosimilar, and medical devices such as Dexcom.

Yoga event aims to contribute to wellness of community
After teaching yoga all over the world, one Wanaka woman has been using her love for wellness to raise money for local charities while celebrating International Yoga Day. Originally from Brazil, local yoga instructor Keity Garcia moved to town in 2019 after spending some time travelling around Asia and teaching yoga in India. When she made the move to Wānaka, she checked if there were any events celebrating the International Day of Yoga only to find the day was not acknowledged the way she hoped it would be. The day is proclaimed by the United Nations and celebrated worldwide on June 21 every year. Ms Garcia took it upon herself to organise an annual event that would bring together yoga teachers, offering locals a full day of classes while also raising money for local charities. The first celebration took place right after one of the Covid lockdowns and was successful in its ability to bring people together after a hard time. "I also had this motivation because everybody was struggling with the lockdown. So I said, this is a great opportunity for people to come together," she said. This year the event will celebrate its sixth edition in Wānaka, with donations going towards St John and Community Link's Cold Kids Campaign. Ms Garcia added that the classes for this year will be held at the Wānaka Community Hub and will focus on the international theme, Yoga for One Earth, One Health. "It's very connected with how we deal not only with ourselves but how we are connected with the earth because the base of yoga is basically we are part of the universe." The classes are on for the whole day and include a range of practices such as laughter yoga, sound journey and meditation. The event is also welcoming Kirtan Journey Queenstown, a group that teaches the practice of Kirtan, where participants are taught how to sing mantras with music in the background. The event is donation-based, with a suggested donation of $25 for the day but participants are welcome to donate as much or as little as they would like. Over the years the event has grown, attracting more people and raising more money. Last year alone, $1600 was raised, with half being given to Community Link and the other half donated to Community Hub. Ms Garcia said their record number of attendees was during the event's fourth year, when 135 people took part in the sessions. As well as attracting participants, the event has also brought a range of teachers, some of who are visitors in town for the ski season and wanting to be part of something special.

Mayor Adams expands key safety program to Central Park to crack down on aggressive pedicabs, illegal hawking
Mayor Eric Adams is expanding his multi-agency safety initiative to Central Park in a push to address quality-of-life concerns in the city's most iconic green space. The expansion of the administration's 'Community Link' program will bring in 20 city agencies and cultural institutions as part of a coordinated response to various issues, such as illegal vending, unlicensed pedicabs, excessive noise and park rule violations. 'Central Park is the backyard of New York City,' Adams said. 'Everyone — families, kids, joggers, cyclists, and tourists — must be safe and feel safe while enjoying this iconic space.' Mayor Adams announced the Community Link expansion Friday Ed Reed/Mayoral Photography Office The new initiative, dubbed the Central Park Conservancy Partnership, includes increased enforcement by the NYPD, Parks Enforcement Patrol and the Central Park Conservancy's new Ranger Corps. Adams said the extra effort will result in a safer and cleaner Central Park. The program expands on previous Community Link deployments in New York City's worst crime and drug-ridden neighborhoods like Midtown West and Roosevelt Avenue. A Community Link initiative has already been operating along the park's northern edge at 110th Street. The enforcement has resulted in over 1,000 summonses and 111 arrests since it began in April 2024. Year-to-date data showed a 50% drop in crime in the Central Park Precinct, including a 90% reduction in robberies and a nearly 29% decline in grand larcenies, according to the mayor's office. A cornerstone of the Central Park crackdown that Adams announced Friday is the newly launched Central Park Ranger Corps, which now patrols the park daily. Betsy Smith, president and CEO of the Central Park Conservancy, said it makes the park more 'welcoming and enjoyable.' 'Central Park is one of the most visited places in the country, with millions of visitors every year,' Smith said. 'This creates unique challenges in how we manage the use of shared space for the benefit of everyone.' Though they do not have enforcement authority, Rangers serve as visible guides and liaisons, responding to complaints, supporting first responders and addressing recurring issues like dogs off-leash, misuse of e-bikes and aggressive solicitation by pedicab or horse carriage drivers. The New York Pedicab Association will also partner with the interagency task force to rein in rogue pedicab drivers and educate terrorized park-goers of their rights and how to report violations. To support the stepped-up enforcement and further deter crime, the NYPD, Parks Department and Department of Transportation are also repairing lighting and installing security cameras. 'We are working to make the park more welcoming and enjoyable for everyone,' Smith said.

Bronx's drug-addled ‘The Hub' will see new quality-of-life crackdown, NYC Mayor Eric Adams says
The 'Broadway of the Bronx' — infamous for its open drug use and squalor — will see a new surge of city resources to crack down on quality-of-life problems, Mayor Eric Adams announced Thursday. Adams said his multi-agency 'Community Link' program will descend on the commercial area between Melrose and Mott Haven, known as 'The Hub.' 'Adding the Hub to this network will address the complex, chronic complaints and improve public safety in the Hunts Point, Mott Haven neighborhoods of the Bronx,' Adams said. Exact details on how the Community Link would work in The Hub weren't given during the embattled mayor's announcement, which his staff cut short after reporters asked questions about Gov. Kathy Hochul potentially curtailing his powers. A news release indicated The Hub would join other 'hot spot' communities such as the prostitute-filled Roosevelt Avenue and mentally ill haven Midtown West. The Community Link program has flooded those areas with substance abuse, mental health and homeless outreach, as well as sanitation other quality-of-life efforts. The ceaseless squalor in The Hub — and long-standing city promises to clean it up — was revealed in a Post exposé in January. The Post spent several days there and watched two addicts suffer apparent overdoses and dozens more nod off after openly shooting dope. After the exposé, dealers continued peddling their wares and junkies injected opioids with impunity — and without any increased NYPD presence. Bronx Borough President Vanessa Gibson said the Community Link initiative — which brings together 20 different city agencies, including the NYPD, health department and sanitation — acknowledges the 'multiple layers' needed to fix the problems. 'Quality of life, sanitation, beautification, activating our open spaces, addressing the saturation of many of our social service programs, making sure that clients that are living with addiction and substance abuse have real holistic approaches to drug treatment and harm reduction programs,' she said.
