I hope this message finds everyone safe and warm!
We're anticipating that, for the safety of our employees and customers, we will be closed tomorrow. If the roads get cleaned up faster than expected, I'll be posting on here if anything changes!
Please stay safe!

Due to current back road conditions, we are planning to open at 11. If we are able to open earlier, I will update this post. Please stay safe!

Good morning everyone!
As of now, we are planning to open at 11 this morning. Some of us have to travel back roads to get in to work, and they haven't been touched.
If the roads are cleared enough to make it in before 11, I will update this post.
Please stay safe and travel only if absolutely necessary. Everyones safety is our top concern. Thanks for your understanding.

UPDATE: The internet has been restored and we are up and running. ☺️
Just a message to let you know that according to PenTele Data, the internet seems to be down in our area.
Please note: our phones don't work without internet, our software doesn't work without it so we can't fill prescriptions,
and we cannot run credit cards at this time. We're told that someone is on their way to fix this issue.
Happy Monday! 😫

I reposted this so that no one has to download an app to see it.

For most businesses, a major competitor shutting their doors would be welcome. But for pharmacists, taking on new clients can actually pose a risk to their bottom line.

Because of the onslaught of people coming to us from the closures of Rite Aid, Birdsboro Pharmacy and Flying Hills Pharmacy, we can no longer accept new patients with insurance coverage.

This difficult situation is impacting the personal service that we've provided our customers that have supported us for nearly 40 years, and we simply refuse to lower our standard of care for them.

Many insurance plans are now paying negative reimbursements, or paying as little as 17 cents for a prescription! Clearly, pharmacies can't stay in business with these types of reimbursements! This is why so many pharmacies are closing their doors, and we don't want to be one of them! In addition, these low reimbursements aren't enough for us to be able to hire more staff.

If you would still like to use us, we would be more than happy to give you our cash price for your medications.

Thank you for your anticipated understanding,

Sincerely,

Doug and Lisa Hess
