To our valued and loyal patients, we want to inform you that as of May 31, 2022, unfortunately our onsite pharmacy has closed due to business reasons. Any existing prescriptions in the pharmacy system have been sent to Walgreens on E. Elm Street in Torrington. If you choose to use a different pharmacy for prescriptions and refills and are due for a visit, please let us know on arrival and we will assist you. If you are not due for a visit, but choose to use another pharmacy and have refills pending, please call Walgreens at (860) 482-8837 and ask them to transfer your prescription to your pharmacy of choice. We are committed to ensuring your satisfaction and will be working to getting a new pharmacy on site in 2023.
Welcome
CEO Joanne Borduas
