You might think of your pharmacy as a quick stop after a visit with your healthcare provider — but it’s so much more than that. Your local pharmacist plays an important role in your overall healthcare plan and is essential to your health and well-being.

Pharmacists are a direct link between the patient and the provider. They are accessible, have experience working with many medications and want to help patients understand their prescriptions as best as possible.

The Memorial Regional Health Community Pharmacy in Craig is a convenient, full-service pharmacy that offers quick and friendly service. The team looks forward to helping their patients every day and our staff is proud to work with our community to enhance healthcare for all.

Safety First

Keeping you safe should be your pharmacy’s top priority. Your local pharmacist can double-check your medications to ensure they are safe to combine. They can also ensure your prescriptions are working to improve the health conditions your provider prescribed them for.

This is especially important if you have more than one provider or more than one condition. Prescriptions, when improperly mixed, taken or overlooked, can pose serious risks. Your pharmacist ensures everything you are prescribed is safe when taken together, and if not, can suggest alternatives to your provider.

When you build a solid relationship with your pharmacist, the process becomes more fluid as trust is built and communication enhances over time.

Easier Access

Pharmacists are an easily accessible face to healthcare. The pharmacists at MRH are always just a phone call away, or you can stop by at your best convenience to chat with our team!

Local pharmacies are usually smaller than the big chains, meaning our pharmacists have more time to spend with patients when they walk in. Our team is happy to simply fill your prescription and send you on your way, but if you have any questions, we love answering all of them and ensuring you’re comfortable before you leave.

The best part? The advice of a pharmacist is completely free of charge. We can provide you with further information about over-the-counter medications, allergy counseling, wound care, pain management, even diagnostic help and advice. Pharmacists are also trained to administer most, if not all, of your vaccines.

Personal Touch

At MRH Community Pharmacy, we get to know our patients quickly. We aren’t bogged down by corporate numbers or unrealistic goals. Our goal is to take the very best care of our patients, and there’s nothing we love more than getting to know our patients on a first-name basis!

Our team is located where you receive your care at MRH in the Medical Office Building. Having a pharmacist in the same building as your primary care or specialty provider is convenient and helpful because we can directly communicate with them, one on one, on a daily basis. Problems get solved quickly and you can rest assured that you are being completely taken care of.

If you are hesitant about transferring your prescription to a new pharmacy, we understand that change can be nerve-wracking. Please know when you choose our team at MRH, you are our priority. We are a fresh set of eyes on your entire healthcare experience, and just like any healthcare professional, we do our job best when we have the complete picture. The better we get to know each other, the more efficiently we can do our job to take care of you.

How to transfer a prescription to a new pharmacy

Transferring your prescription to a new pharmacy isn’t as intimidating as it may sound. It can actually be completed in three easy steps.

1. Let your new pharmacy know which prescriptions need to be transferred from your old pharmacy. Give them the names, strength of the prescriptions and prescription numbers. Also, give them the phone number of your old pharmacy so that they can reach out directly regarding transfer services.
2. Provide necessary information. Make sure you provide your new pharmacy with your personal information — such as name, address, allergies, etc. — and healthcare insurance information.
3. Pick up your prescriptions at your new pharmacy when you get notice that they’re ready for pick-up. It can take between one to three business days to transfer prescriptions from one pharmacy to another, so ensure your new one has enough time to make the transfers before you need to pick up your medications. At MRH, you can receive your prescriptions by walking into our building, using our drive-thru or getting them delivered right to your mailbox.

If you’re transferring a prescription to the MRH Community Pharmacy, don’t hesitate to reach out. Our team is happy to answer any questions you may have about the process, and our goal is to make your transition as easy and seamless as possible. We’re happy to have you as a new patient and to be your new partner in health!
