Brown Drug Company and Blessing Health System are pleased to announce that together, they will strengthen pharmaceutical services in our communities. The two local companies will continue their combined 250 years of service to the region through a new partnership. Brown Drug Company will continue to serve customers under the Brown Drug Company name in its current location at 1121 Maine Street, which includes home and mail order deliveries.
“Blessing’s investment in Brown Drug Company will ensure that we can continue to remain locally-owned and operated, while offering expanded services to our customers,” said Bill Cox, one of the business owners. “By working with Blessing, our strengths will be enhanced.”
“Both organizations share a strong commitment to our community and customers,” said Maureen Kahn, RN, MHA, MSN, president/chief executive officer, Blessing Health System/Blessing Hospital. “Blessing Health System, The Cox Family, and the Brown Drug Company staff believe the true human connection is essential in delivering exceptional care.”
“At some pharmacies, customers are prescription numbers,” she continued. “At Brown Drug Company, customers are people. Brown Drug Company was built on a foundation of relationships. That is outstanding healthcare,” she said.
“The marketplace has changed a great deal since we opened our doors in 1914,” said Cox. “What hasn’t changed is the customer’s need for convenient access to care, delivered with outstanding customer service. By partnering with Blessing, we will ensure that Brown Drug Company continues to deliver that service well into the future.”
