About Us

Our Story

Who We Are

Faith Community Pharmacy was founded in 2002 by two local pharmacists, Mary Beth Beimesch and Rosana Aydt, who saw a critical need for prescription assistance in Northern Kentucky.
Driven by the belief that access to essential medications is a basic human need—not a privilege—they created a place where cost would never be a barrier to health. What began as a grassroots effort to fill an urgent gap in care has grown into a trusted resource for thousands of individuals and families.

Their vision was simple yet powerful: no one should go without essential medications because of cost.
For more than 20 years, we’ve been turning that vision into reality by providing life-sustaining prescription assistance, medication counseling, and compassionate support to those who need it most. Our pharmacy remains dedicated to ensuring that every patient receives the medications required to manage chronic conditions, maintain stability, and improve quality of life.

Today, that mission is growing.
As we rebrand into the Faith Community Health Network and expand our services to include a charitable clinic, we are building on the strong foundation created two decades ago. This growth allows us to do even more—to support the whole person through both medication access and comprehensive primary and preventive healthcare. Our commitment remains the same: to provide compassionate, accessible care for every neighbor who needs us, regardless of their ability to pay.
