Owatonna Pharmacy Care Opens September 22
OWATONNA, Minn. 09/14/2009--Allina Community Pharmacies’ new location in Owatonna opens Tuesday, Sept. 22. The new Owatonna Pharmacy Care is located inside the main entrance to the new Owatonna Hospital on 26th NW Street, just west of I-35. Patients can access Owatonna Pharmacy Care through the Owatonna Clinic main entrance. The Owatonna Hospital will begin accepting patients at its new location at 7 a.m., Friday, Oct. 16.
"Our new location will be an added convenience for our patients at the Owatonna Hospital and the Owatonna Clinic," said Owatonna Pharmacy Care Pharmacist Ronald Schleif. "But we also want the rest of the community to think of us as a resource for them, too, not just for hospital and clinic patients."
The new pharmacy is the beneficiary of the "patient-first" design of the new Owatonna Hospital, locating the features people need and use most near the hospital’s main entrance. That means the pharmacy is located at the front of the hospital, between the Owatonna Hospital Emergency Department and the Owatonna Clinic-Mayo Health System Urgent Care.
Schlief says the current pharmacy location on Southview will be closed Monday, Sept. 21, and will reopen Tuesday, Sept. 22 at its new location on 26th NW Street. Pharmacy patrons can continue to reach the pharmacist at 507-455-7656 until September 21. Starting September 22, the pharmacy can be reached at its new location and phone number, 507-977-2020.
