The Yale New Haven Health Pharmacy at Bridgeport Hospital opened its doors to its first customers April 1.
The pharmacy is a convenient option for patients being discharged from the hospital, those looking to refill prescriptions, area residents and hospital employees. In addition to retail pharmacy services, patients have access to YNHHS’ network of specialty and home infusion pharmacies.
Located on the first floor of the hospital, the state-of-the-art retail pharmacy is open Monday - Friday, 8 am - 6 pm, and Saturday and Sunday, 9 am - 4 pm. The pharmacy will be closed on holidays.
The Bridgeport Hospital location is YNHHS’ sixth retail pharmacy. All offer full pharmacy services, immunizations and over-the-counter medications. By filling medications through Yale New Haven Health, the hospital’s healthcare providers can easily communicate with patients’ providers through Epic/MyChart, which can mean quicker responses to medication questions, refill requests, prior authorization approvals and questions about financial assistance.
