Inpatient Pharmacy
The Pharmacy Department is responsible for ordering medications for the hospital and Family Medical Clinic. They keep the emergency room, medication room, radiology, surgery and cardiac departments stocked and ready to go when medications are needed by the staff for a patient. The pharmacy staff is responsible for monitoring expiration dates and recall notices on medications throughout the hospital. The department works closely with Infection Control to coordinate Flu and Pneumonia clinics. The pharmacy is a Class C pharmacy which only licenses it to provide medications for patients that are treated in the hospital or the emergency room. It does not have a license to distribute medications to or fill prescriptions for the general public.
