Standard Pharmacy held its Grand Opening off the lobby of the new HealthFirst Family Care Center on Saturday, August 18, 2012. The newly-opened pharmacy will provide a convenient location for patients of the new clinic as well as other customers in the neighborhood. "By making it easier for patients to get their prescriptions filled, we hope to have better compliance with the medications that our physicians order," commented HealthFirst Director of Community Relations and Development Paula Harrison. Similar to the Heatth Care Pharmacy that operates at the Truesdale Clinic, the Standard Pharmacy location will provide a full range of pharmaceutical products and a limited range of other products, including fresh fruit and a range of healthy snack items. Other health services that will operate in the HealthFirst facility include Southcoast Hospitals Group and National Physical Therapy. Click here for a three-minute video.
