Lantern Health, a local Direct Primary Care office, will be opening a second location co-located at Sona Pharmacy + Clinic, beginning this fall! Their current location (84 Coxe Ave.) will continue to serve the downtown area and this addition will bring Direct Primary Care to East Asheville.
In addition to direct primary care memberships, Lantern Health will also have pre-priced walk-in services available at the new Sona location. Unfamiliar with Direct Primary Care? Don’t worry, we have answers to common questions and more on our FAQ page.

Beginning July 1st, the clinic will temporarily close for renovations until Lantern Health moves in this fall. During this time, there will be no closures or disruptions in service at Sona Pharmacy. We will keep you informed about the reopening date! In the meantime, you can sign up to join Lantern Health now through the link below.
