“We will be open Monday, Tuesday and Friday from 8:30 a.m. until 5 p.m., Wednesday from 8:30 a.m. until 12:30 p.m. and Thursday from 10:30 a.m. to 7 p.m.,” White said. “This will offer varied hours for folks.”

“We offer a full line of pharmaceuticals, but as of this time, we do not carry over the counter medications,” White said. “We just fill prescriptions.”
