Community Health & Wellness Center Provides Pharmacy to Serve the Torrington Community

​(Torrington, CT) – September 3, 2024 – When Community Health & Wellness Center (CHWC) learned that the Stop & Shop Pharmacy at 211 High Street in Torrington was closing, our leadership immediately recognized the need to ensure continued access to essential medications for our patients and the broader community.
 
In response, CHWC partnered with Genoa Pharmacy to open an in-house pharmacy at our Torrington location in January 2024. This new service makes it easier than ever for our patients to obtain their medications quickly and conveniently, right after their appointments.
 
“The pharmacy at Community Health & Wellness made it so easy to get my prescription filled. My provider called it in during my appointment and it was ready by the time I left! That was such a time-saver for me since I had to get back to work!” said one of our patients.
