Albany College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences has opened a new student-run pharmacy in downtown Schenectady. WAMC's Capital Region Bureau Chief Dave Lucas was on hand for the ribbon-cutting.
In a first-of-a kind alliance for the Capital Region, Hometown Centers, the county’s only not-for-profit, federally qualified health center, has teamed up with the College of Pharmacy, which is operating HHC’s full-service, in-house pharmacy.
The partnership restores a low-cost service that was lost when a different pharmacy discontinued operations about a year ago.
Gregg Dewey is president of ACPHS: "There's only a couple of other in the country. It will be a great educational experience providing pharmaceutical services to an underserved area."
