With big-name pharmacies closing in the city, the southwest and south side communities are negatively affected the most. Many residents don’t have a vehicle, and others often ask for help from pharmacists about their medication, so not having their pharmacist available to them is a big inconvenience. With Walgreens and CVS both closing hundreds of stores, many are left stranded without a lot of options. However, one community hospital is dedicated to providing a pharmacy for residents and remaining open to help avoid these issues for those in the southwest side. SAH Pharmacy opened in July ’23 in Saint Anthony Hospital amidst many other pharmacies closing in the city and has remained a valuable part of the community. The SAH Pharmacy offers free prescription delivery, a bi-lingual staff to answer questions, and affordable prices for the uninsured. SAH Pharmacy offers a wide range of prescription and over-the-counter medicines and insurance plans are accepted. To reach SAH Pharmacy, please dial 224-922-4100 or visit the pharmacy on the second floor at Saint Anthony Hospital located at 2875 W. 19th Street in Chicago, IL.
