Ellsworth Pharmacy, more than medicine
The 28th Medical Support Squadron pharmacy is located in the foyer of the 28th Medical Group and safely provides medications to more than 33,000 beneficiaries a year. Prescriptions are first provided to the pharmacy electronically, faxed or brought in in paper form, and are activated by checking in at the counter or calling in. Once activated, labels are printed off for processing and dispensed prior to being put into a bottle. Finally, the pharmacist verifies that the number of pills inside the bottle coincides with the quantity annotated on the label before storing it for pickup.
