PEORIA, Ill. – There’s a new pharmacy in town — one its owner says you won’t find anywhere else.
Peoria-based OSF HealthCare is opening what they call a “specialty pharmacy” and “Integrated Distribution Center” at their War Memorial Drive facility.
Think of it as a pharmacy warehouse of sorts, but also a local pharmacy as well.
“We can service any pharmacy in Illinois. With the wraparound pharmacies, we can service sites outside of Illinois such as Indiana. We might have Mission Partners who work in Danville, but work in Indiana. We can still service them,” said Jerry Storm, Senior Vice President of Pharmacy Services for OSF HealthCare. “We will make every effort to take care of manufacturer discounts and assistance programs. There’s coupons that a lot of manufacturers will offer to drive those costs down.”
Storm says OSF will distribute meds to all its system hospitals, while at the same time working with insurers and manufacturers to try and save everyone money.
