Pharmacy Refill Center Groundbreaking
ADA, Okla. – Ground breaking ceremonies for the Chickasaw Nation Health System Pharmacy Refill Center were conducted Tuesday, Jan. 24.
Construction of the new facility will begin soon at the west end of State Street, directly south of Carl Albert Indian Health facility, 1001 N. Country Club Rd.
“Three drive-through lanes and state-of-the-art automation at this new facility will enable us to provide highly effective, efficient prescription service for all health system patients,” said Chickasaw Nation Governor Bill Anoatubby.
A staff of 16 pharmacists and 16 pharmacy technicians at the 11,000 square foot facility are expected to fill more than 550,000 prescriptions annually.
The facility will provide all pharmaceutical services from the Carl Albert Indian Health Facility, as well as refill prescription service for all five CNHS satellite clinics.
In addition to the pharmacy services, the facility will also include patient counseling services, an anticoagulation clinic and a lipid management clinic.
Construction of the facility is estimated to be completed in approximately eight months.
