Pharmacy Ihxoxuirs
The current operating hours of the pharmacy are 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. and the
windows are open for business from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and 1:30 p.m. to
5:30 p.m., except on Thursdays when the window does not open until 10 a.m.
Due to current staff shortages, the pharmacy hours have changed.
The window opening hours will remain the same, except on Thursday
when the window will now open in the morning at 9:30 a.m. Additionally,
the prescription drop-off windows will now close at 6 p.m., so any prescrip
tions received after this time will not be filled until the following day. How
ever, prescriptions can still be picked up until 5:30 p.m. Also, there is now a
prescription drop-off box located outside the clinic in the drive around. This
drop box is checked daily at 2 p.m. and anything received in the box should
be filled that day.
As always, we will do everything we can to accommodate emergencies.
