LTC at Minnich’s Continuing Care Pharmacy
Minnich’s Pharmacy, Inc. is an independent, employee-owned pharmacy that has been focused on providing superior pharmaceutical expertise and exceptional customer service for over 75 years. Since the 1970s, our long-term care branch, Minnich’s Continuing Care Pharmacy has partnered with various healthcare facilities to provide medication, clinical, and regulatory resources. The earliest partnerships were with long-term care facilities; however, over time, these partnerships have expanded to personal care facilities, group homes, medication-at-home patients, and inpatient and outpatient substance abuse facilities. As our pharmacy has grown, Minnich’s Continuing Care Pharmacy has maintained traditional pharmacy values. Unlike large corporate pharmacies, we can adapt to customers' needs without wading through corporate policies.
