BUSINESS Wallowa County Chieftain A6 Wednesday, April 21, 2021 Olive Branch Pharmacy remains independent BIZZ BUZZ By Bill Bradshaw E NTERPRISE — While the Olive Branch Family Health Clinic has been taken over by the Wallowa County Health Care District, the adjoining Olive Branch Pharmacy con- tinues with business as usual, the pharmacy manager said. “Nothing has changed on the pharmacy side,” Manager Sarah Blackwood said. “We’ve had quite a few questions and concerns about if we are closing and our hours of operation,” said Misty Golden, one of the managers at the Red Cross Drug Store in La Grande, a sister phar- Bill Bradshaw/Wallowa County Chieftain Tracy Hamilton, a pharmacy technician at Olive Branch Pharmacy in Enterprise, counts out pills for a customer Friday, April 16, 2021. While the adjacent clinic has been taken over by the Wallowa County Health Care District, no change is happening at the pharmacy. macy to Olive Branch. The 10-year-old pharmacy is owned by Bob and Sue Coulter, of Cove. In January, the health care district announced it would be taking over the clinic eff ective this month. But the pharmacy remains a separately-owned business divided from the clinic by just a doorway. Wallowa Memorial Hospi- tal “now owns the clinic part,” Blackwood said. “We wanted to get the word out because the phar- macy owners and staff are continuing to provide the same compassionate care so that all of our patients can live a healthier life,” Blackwood said. She said the pharmacy does its utmost for patients. “We go out of our way to help patients,” she said. “If there’s something we don’t & Skylight Gallery have, we can certainly order it.” Blackwood said that she and the other two staff mem- bers at the pharmacy enjoy working for the Coulters, who come to Enterprise on occasion. “They provide such a fam- ily atmosphere,” she said. “They are all about fam- ily. They care about their co-workers. They care about their patients. You just don’t get that so much with the cor- porate pharmacies.” In order to make sure they are aware of what their cus- tomers want, Olive Branch regularly polls them. Black- wood shared some of the responses. One said she comes to Olive Branch, “because of the friendly staff and the atmo- sphere that’s created due to that, and the timely service they provide.” Another said she “loves the drive-thru window and the friendly staff . It makes picking up prescriptions very convenient and our friendly staff .” Yet another stated, “This place is fabulous and accom- modating and she loves com- ing here because she doesn’t have to wait in a line,” Black- wood said. The Olive Branch Phar- macy, located at 306 W North St., is open 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday.
