Pharmacies
At BJC, our licensed pharmacists are an important part of the caregiving team. They are medicinal experts, educators, and vital community resources, ensuring that patients get the medicine they need, while also providing valuable information on alternatives, insurance, and programs for those needing financial help.
We have several pharmacies serving the community, both inpatient at our hospital facilities and outpatient at locations across the region. Some of our pharmacies offer delivery services and on-call pharmacists for after-hour support. Because education about medications is crucial, all our pharmacies provide medication consultation to answer your questions. You can also use our 24-hour service for automated refills or manage your prescription online with BJC Rx.

Our delivery service will bring your prescriptions to you before you’re discharged from the hospital. Simply let your nurse or physician know that you would like your prescriptions filled before you leave.
When it comes to medications, education is critical. Our staff is always available to answer your questions and consult on any potential side effects and drug alternatives. They can also answer questions about how to keep your medications safe and out of the hands of children.
Our trusted pharmacists look for any potential drug reactions that might be caused by the combination of prescriptions in your treatment plan. Remember to let us know what medications you are taking, including over-the-counter medications or supplements, so that we can evaluate how they might react with your new prescriptions.
Sometimes paying for your medications and navigating insurance plans can be a challenge. Our pharmacists can help give advice and provide information about programs for those needing financial help to pay for medications.
