Catskill Regional Medical Center offers patient pharmacy services
Harris, NY – Catskill Regional Medical Center welcomes Harris Pharmacy, a community pharmacy offering patients access to their prescription medications. Harris Pharmacy opened its new location within Catskill Regional Medical Center’s Harris Campus on July 9.
The new public pharmacy is a convenient option for patients, the general public and staff. It offers a full range of prescription medication services, including personalized pharmacist services. The pharmacy also carries over-the-counter medications and medical supplies including Diabetic strips and nebulizers. The pharmacy accepts most major prescription drug plans and is staffed by professional registered pharmacists and pharmacy technicians.
“Catskill Regional is committed to our patients and our community by providing high quality pharmacy services,” said Catskill Regional’s Chief Executive Officer, Jonathan Schiller. “This pharmacy is a tremendous asset for our patients and employees. It is a welcomed addition to our campus because it delivers an important healthcare service for our patients by making the transition from hospital to home easier. The pharmacy is easily accessible for patients who have appointments with their physicians or are picking up new medications following a hospital stay, and for patients receiving treatments.”
In describing the new pharmacy and its impact, Harris Pharmacy Business Manager, Ishan Trivedi said, “This new collaboration allows for a more cohesive relationship among local physicians, pharmacists and other healthcare providers in an effort to further help patients.”
Mr. Trivedi added the opening of the pharmacy reflects the changing healthcare landscape. “The collaborative effort among our established pharmacy and our community hospital is indicative of an effective relationship that should exist throughout the healthcare arena. These partnerships allow us to be more patient focused and deliver high-quality care.”
The pharmacy offers patients one-stop prescription medication services and basic shopping following procedures or treatments by eliminating an extra step when they’re heading home to continue their recovery. This is a unique opportunity to provide patients with on-site education about their medications that coincides with the doctor’s visit, typically resulting in improved outcomes and safety.
The pharmacy is led by Kathleen Paul who is the managing pharmacist and is located at the Harris Campus of Catskill Regional Medical Center at 68 Harris-Bushville Rd, Harris NY. The pharmacy is open Monday-Friday, 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Saturday, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Patients may access pharmacy services by calling 845-333-8121.
