FMC Pharmacy Opens The Doors To An All-New Expanded Pharmacy
Family Medicine Center, Eleuthera has just recently opened the doors to its newly expanded pharmacy in the Rock Sound community. The FMC Pharmacy has been a vital part of the community for four years and has grown to be a trusted source for prescription medication, over-the-counter remedies, and a variety of health-related products.
Sidnell Wilmore, Pharmacy Manager, said the new pharmacy includes a larger retail space, with an expanded selection of medical equipment and supplies. The goal is to offer more services to the community and meet the needs of patients.
“We are excited to offer a larger selection of products and services to our loyal customers,” said Sidnell. “Our goal has always been to provide the best possible care to our patients, and this expansion will allow us to do that.”
Originally located in the same building as the Family Medicine Center clinic, the new pharmacy is now in its own dedicated building directly across the street.
The larger retail space makes it possible to offer a wider selection of over-the-counter medications, personal care items, and health-related products. Additionally, the pharmacy offers a range of medical equipment and supplies, including blood pressure monitors, diabetes testing supplies, and first aid kits.
Dr. Graham Cates, Medical Director said, “We are thrilled to be able to offer more products and services to our patients and look forward to continuing to serve our community for many years to come.”
Some things remain the same, however, such as the friendly, knowledgeable pharmacists and pharmacy staff, and attention to customer service. Patients can continue to use the National Drug Plan, and prescription delivery is available.
In response to customer feedback, the FMC Pharmacy will no longer close for lunch mid-day. Open hours are Monday to Friday 8:30am to 4:30pm, and Saturdays from 9:00am to 1:00pm.
