Outpatient Pharmacy Celebrates 1st Anniversary

CHKD Outpatient Pharmacy, located on the first floor of the main hospital in Norfolk, held its grand opening in the fall of 2023 and recently commemorated its first anniversary. In that time, the pharmacy has provided more than 25,000 prescriptions for children and adults across the region, including difficult-to-obtain and compounded medications.

CHKD pharmacists can also improve the taste of medications with kid-friendly flavors, formulate medications free of allergens and dyes, and create unique dosages for specific therapies.

To ensure these specialized prescription services are convenient to everyone, free delivery is available throughout Hampton Roads.

“We’re excited to have these services available,” says Dr. Christopher Foley, CHKD’s chief clinical operations officer. “Families with a child being treated in the hospital can have prescriptions filled before taking their child home. And now, with delivery available, our services are accessible to anyone in our community without the need to visit our Norfolk location.”

The pharmacy also offers routine, seasonal, and travel vaccines, assistance with high-cost medications, and a year-round drug take-back program to safely dispose of unused or expired prescriptions.

Pharmacy hours are 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday and 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday. For more information or to arrange home delivery of your prescriptions, call (757) 668-6337.
