History
In Sacramento during the late 1800s, medical care was essentially provided at home. Nurses and family members provided this care under the direction of the family physician. The only alternative was a hospital stay, where unhygienic conditions proliferated.
Over time and with advances in health care, hospitals became the respected community institutions that they are today. Home care decreased, along with the all but extinct “house call.”

A hundred years later, the early 1980s saw an emphasis on cost reduction with the onset of “managed care.” Visionary healthcare providers in the Sacramento area began to revisit the idea of freeing up expensive hospital beds by identifying, empowering, and educating patients that could perhaps be served better in an alternative setting; primarily at home or at outpatient sites within their community.

In 1982, four such innovative pharmacists formed a partnership that became the foundation for River City Health Care & Pharmacy. Today, as in the past, our primary goal remains the same, to service and benefit your community through our “hospital without walls.”

Home infusion and ancillary home care offers both patients and families the freedom to participate in their plan of care and receive treatment in a familiar, nurturing environment. Our highly trained, dedicated team of pharmacists, nurses, insurance specialists, and customer service representatives is committed to helping those invested in caring for themselves or their loved ones, without compromise, educating to independence and mentoring by example, to ensure the best possible medical outcome.

We also offer a full line of Enteral Nutrition, Home Medical Equipment (wheelchair/walker, hospital room apparatus),Medical Supplies (incontinence, urological, colostomy) Diabetes Testing Supplies and Advanced Wound Care.

Fully accredited by ACHC and affiliated with National Home Infusion Association (NHIA) and California Association for Health Services At Home (CAHSAH), we promote legislation for the benefit of our elderly and other under-represented patients. Our mandate is clear, to partner with our community healthcare providers in support of our patients and their caregivers, and to maximize every health care dollar, one patient at a time.
