Commonwealth Pharmacy of the River City

10/24/2023

We are OPEN! 📢🚨

Wherever we go, construction will follow! 🚧🚦
(If you know, you know 🤪)

Watson Street is operating as a one lane road for the time being as the city is working to fix an issue with the road right in front of our building. There is still access to Stewart Street that allows parking down the side of our building. We understand some of our customers have difficulty walking longer distances, which makes having the parking at the door so convenient. So to better accommodate, give us a call (434) 425-0701 📞 and one us can run your prescriptions out to you! 🏃‍♀️

Happy National Pharmacy Technician Day to all of the pharmacy techs out there!! And a BIG happy Pharmacy Technician Day to our pharmacy tech, Haley! 💊
•
Meet Haley, our full time pharmacy technician. Haley has become a very familiar face and vital part of our team here at Commonwealth Pharmacy of the River City over the last 4️⃣ years! Haley is from the area having grown up in Pittsylvania County, she graduated from Chatham High School and has studied business management at Patrick Henry Community College and at Averett University. Most recently Haley graduated from the New York Institute of Career Development where she furthered her education as a pharmacy technician 👩🏻‍🎓 When Haley started here, she worked out front running our lunch counter 🌭 and assisting in pharmacy duties. Over the years, she has grown as an employee eager to learn new things, tackling new tasks, taking on more responsibilities, and now she is teaching all of us new things daily! We are thankful to have a pharmacy technician like her on our team 💊👍🏼
•
If you haven’t stopped by lately to see our new home at 130 Watson Street, come on by and wish Haley and our other team members a Happy National Pharmacy Week! We would love to see everyone and even some new faces! 👋🏼
