Extended Hours and Expanded Services For Jamaica Rx

87774318 pharmacyJamaica Rx, the retail pharmacy located in the hospital’s main lobby, is extending its hours as well as expanding the services it offers to patients at Jamaica Hospital.

Recently, the retail pharmacy added Sunday hours. The added convenience helps patients discharged from the Emergency Department or in-patient units by offering the convenience of filling their prescriptions without leaving the hospital. The new Sunday hours are 9:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m.

In addition to the newly expanded hours of operation, the pharmacy is now also offering a Pharmacy Concierge service. As a part of this service, the staff of Jamaica Rx will dispense medications and offer bedside counseling to our patients upon discharge. By offering this service, patients will have an opportunity to have all their questions answered, which will lead to improved medication adherence and increased satisfaction.

The concierge service is currently being piloted on 6 South, Monday through Friday, with plans to expand throughout the facility in the near future. Patients are being encouraged to ask a member of their health care team for more information about the program.
