On Wednesday, August 21, Yuma Regional Medical Center (YRMC) opened its new retail pharmacy, located in the YRMC Foothills Medical Plaza. The new location offers Foothills and East County residents a convenient and additional pharmacy location in the area. YRMC is partnering with ProxsysRx, who will own and manage YRMC Foothills Pharmacy.
Every three years, YRMC conducts a Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) which analyzes local and statewide data. Most importantly, it incorporates feedback from more than 700 Yuma community residents. A common theme in past assessments was the necessity for comprehensive care options in East County, resulting in the Foothills Medical Plaza and now new pharmacy services.
“With the Foothills Health Campus, we have been able to provide 24/7 emergency services, and other clinical services that meet the community’s needs and provide quality care close to home. The retail pharmacy only enhances the experience people will have,” said Trudie Milner, PhD, Senior VP and Chief Operating Officer. “The new YRMC Foothills Pharmacy underscores our dedication to ensuring all residents have convenient access to medications and healthcare resources needed to continue building a healthier tomorrow.”
The community can expect a quick, convenient location with a drive through, free mail-to-home service and the pharmacy will be able to fill and deliver prescriptions to the bedside. The locations hours will be Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
“We’re honored to have this opportunity to extend YRMC’s mission of service to their community,” said ProxsysRx founder and CEO George Salem. “The YRMC Foothills Pharmacy will fill a significant gap in the market — offering a new level of convenience, accessibility and support to nearby patients and their families.”
YRMC Foothills Medical Plaza offers comprehensive services all on one campus. Services include diagnostic imaging, emergency services, health records, pediatrics, podiatry, primary care, women’s health and walk-in care. YRMC Foothills Medical Plaza is located at 11351 E South Frontage Road, Yuma, AZ 85367.
