A ribbon cutting event with Prineville Chamber of Commerce is set for December 5.
St. Charles’ new Community Pharmacy in Prineville is now open and serving customers, helping to preserve access to local pharmacy services in Crook County. The pharmacy transitioned from Clinic Pharmacy to St. Charles officially yesterday.
“Today is an exciting day for St. Charles and our community, as we can now offer seamless pharmacy services to patients throughout Crook County,” said Todd Shields, vice president of operations for the Northern Campuses.
This is the second Community Pharmacy St. Charles has opened this year, after opening a pharmacy in Madras in June.
“We are proud to maintain access to this critical service for patients, especially at a time when many pharmacies across the state and nation are closing,” said Kevin Russell, director of ambulatory pharmacy services for St. Charles.
The Prineville Chamber of Commerce will help celebrate the opening of the pharmacy with a ribbon cutting event at 8am on December 5.
The new pharmacy will offer prescriptions (in-store and via a drive-up window), immunizations, medication management, over-the-counter medicine and durable medical equipment such as crutches and walkers. It is located at 198 NE Combs Flat Road in Prineville and will be open Monday-Friday, 9am-6pm and Saturday, 9am-3pm.
