Publix opens in-hospital pharmacy at Jupiter Medical Center

Publix has opened to the doors to a brand-new pharmacy.

Located in the Anderson Family Cancer Institute at Jupiter Medical Center in Jupiter, Fl., the pharmacy will look to provide patients with access to medications not typically available at traditional pharmacies that are used to treat leukemias, lymphomas, melanomas and sarcomas.

“We’re pleased to collaborate with Jupiter Medical Center to offer their patients access to medications they need in the same location where they receive treatment,” Publix vice president of pharmacy, Dain Rusk said. “We look forward to providing premier service to patients and being part of their medical journey.”

Patients at Jupiter Medical will be offered the convenience of receiving their first prescription in this hospital and continuing to refill their prescriptions at their neighborhood Publix Pharmacy, the companies said.

“Offering our patients the convenience of coming to Jupiter Medical Center for their cancer care treatment and easily filling their prescriptions at a trusted Publix Pharmacy located within the hospital before they go home is an important amenity,” Jupiter Medical Center vice president and chief operating officer, Steve Seeley said. “We are always looking for new ways we can make the patient experience more seamless, and this collaboration is one we look forward to introducing our patients and their families too.”
