North Star Health is pleased to invite the community to the official grand opening celebration of our three new in-house pharmacies, expanding access to convenient, affordable prescription services for patients and community members across the region.
To mark this milestone, all three locations will host full-day celebrations on Tuesday, September 22. Community members, patients, and local partners are invited to stop by throughout the day to see the facilities, meet pharmacy staff, and receive complimentary giveaways.
At 1:30 p.m., each pharmacy site will host a formal ribbon-cutting ceremony followed by lunch. Leadership teams from North Star Health will be on-site to celebrate the launch of these important community resources. Please RSVP if you plan to attend.
Beyond improving access to prescription services, these pharmacies are uniquely integrated into North Star Health’s care system. Pharmacists work closely with North Star’s clinical teams to provide patients with a coordinated healthcare experience. This collaboration strengthens continuity of care, helps reduce medication errors, and supports patients in managing chronic conditions more effectively.
“We’re seeing more and more communities lose access to local pharmacies, and that loss creates real consequences for people’s health,” said Joshua Dufresne, MBA, CEO of North Star Health. “We want everyone to have a trusted pharmacy nearby, with a friendly, knowledgeable pharmacist who knows them and is connected to the rest of their care. That is exactly what we’ve built.”
The addition of these three pharmacies reflects North Star Health’s mission to connect with and care for the community so everyone may enjoy health and wellness.
