Be assured that Island Pharmacy is open to process new and refill prescriptions and that we are receiving daily shipments of pharmaceuticals from our wholesalers as usual.

For our patients who are elderly or have other disease states and are at increased risk we are offering to bring prescriptions and other items to your vehicles in the pharmacy parking lot. Please call the pharmacy to request this service. Patients may also request friends, family or taxi cab drivers to pick up prescriptions for them. If you have any questions please feel free to ask the pharmacy staff. Thank you for choosing Island Pharmacy.
