MADISON, Wis. – People in the northeast Rockford area have a new convenient option for many of their pharmacy needs.
UW Health recently opened a second retail pharmacy in Rockford, located at the UW Health N Bell School Road Medical Center, 3505 N. Bell School Road. The first pharmacy is at SwedishAmerican Hospital, 1401 E. State St.
The new location will provide services like prescription dispensing and vaccinations, but will not offer over-the-counter medications and other products.
The new space is directly connected to the UW Health system of care, according to Wendy Copeland, outpatient pharmacy manager, UW Health in northern Illinois.
“This location was strategically selected due to the N Bell School Road Medical Center housing a wide range of specialty providers like dermatology, pediatrics, obstetrics and gynecology, and neurosurgery, in addition to family practice and internal medicine,” she said. “The new pharmacy is also in close proximity to the Carbone Cancer Center and endocrinology clinic, ensuring better access and support for those patients and their unique needs.”
The new location is open 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday to Friday, however it is closed between noon and 12:30 p.m., daily.
“Our dedicated team brings more than 86 years of combined experience, ensuring expert guidance and compassionate care for every individual we serve,” Copeland said. “This addition enhances continuity of care and reinforces our commitment to improving health outcomes.”
