Meijer has expanded its partnership with Michigan-based medical care group Corewell Health with the opening of a new, full-service retail pharmacy on-site at Blodgett Hospital in Grand Rapids, Mich.
This is the retailer’s second pharmacy inside a Corewell Health hospital, following the opening of a similar pharmacy inside Butterworth Hospital in 2015.
“Our pharmacies are designed to be a one-stop health and wellness destination, and expanding our partnership with Corewell Health is another way we can ensure we are where patients need us most,” said Meijer President & CEO Rick Keyes, who previously served as a pharmacist for the Grand Rapids, Mich.-based retailer.
The 3,100-square-foot pharmacy offers over-the-counter products as well as comprehensive services including immunizations.
In addition, the pharmacy features:
- Meds to Beds discharge coordination: Delivers necessary medications to a patient’s bed before they leave the hospital
- Meijer Specialty Pharmacy services: Provides specialty medications as well as additional care for patients living with certain chronic conditions
- Compounding: Tailors prescriptions to patients’ needs
The pharmacy, which is owned and operated by Meijer, was part of a major remodel project at Blodgett, which also included enhancements to the main entrance and patient drop-off area. It is located on the hospital’s main floor, adjacent to the discharge lounge.
Prescriptions filled at the pharmacy are eligible for mPerks and can be set up for automatic refill reminders.
Hours for the Meijer pharmacy at Blodgett Hospital are 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday, and 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday. The pharmacy will be closed on Sundays and holidays.
Meijer is a privately owned, family-operated retailer which has over 500 supercenters, grocery stores, neighborhood markets, and express locations throughout the Midwest. The retailer employs over 70,000 people.
