Long wait times at a pharmacy can adversely affect patient care. Regardless of the time of the day, despite having all your information already in the pharmacy system, whether it's a new prescription or a refill, the usual wait time can run up to 1-3 hours. Additionally, it is not uncommon for a pharmacy not to have enough supply of your medication or not have your medication in stock at all. In this event, you will be asked to return.

At West Health Pharmacy, we are very conscious about all of these. Hence, we make sure our workflow is as efficient as can be, providing quicker fill time than most pharmacies without compromising patient care. We also take time in making sure that our patients understand their medications. For our patients' convenience, we offer complimentary delivery so you can just wait for your medications at the comfort of your home.

We provide various services, including, but not limited to, FREE Compliance Packaging to make medication management easier and accurate. Over-the-Counter Medications, Nutritional Supplements, Incontinent Products and other supplies can also be delivered to you along with your prescription medications. We administer vaccines and other injectable products. And speaking of which, Flu Season is right around the corner. So watch out for our announcement.

Do you take medications? In this increasingly complex world of healthcare management, it is essential to be an informed patient. Know your medications—not only the medications prescribed by your doctor, but also those that you pick up over-the-counter for minor ailments, vitamins and supplements. You need to know the important details about how they work and remember that some over-the-counter drugs, supplements and even certain foods can interact with your prescribed medications. Communicate with your Pharmacist and take the time to learn about your treatment. Knowing your medications limits your risk of developing potentially harmful adverse effects and complications, which ultimately decreases emergency visits, hospitalization and mortality rates.
