Who Can Get Their Prescriptions Filled?
Strong Ties Outpatient
Pharmacy, located at Strong Memorial Hospital, is a closed” pharmacy.
All of our customers are patients of Strong Ties mental health
clinics where approximately 90% of the patients receive medications
for
their conditions.
Strong Ties patients are not required to use the outpatient pharmacy;
however, we offer a convenient service for our patients. The pharmacy
monitors each person’s
medication schedule so that prescriptions are refilled and ready
to be picked up and patients
don’t
have to wait.
When a patient fails to pick up their medications or is having
some trouble taking them, the Strong Ties team immediately notifies
the physician in charge. Nobody is ever turned away because of
his or her ability to pay for psychiatric medicine.
