PHARMACY We currently have two part-time pharmacists. We were robbed several times As a result, we quit carrying Oxycontin and we don’t store opiates in the Pharmacy, we have bars on the back, ground floor windows and we have had to upgrade our security…. More changes are coming

AS WE ALL KNOW, IT IS NOT AN ISOLATED PROBLEM!

ON A HAPPIER NOTE Our staff likes it here; there is very little turnover. We are a pretty close knit team.
