“We offer everything from custom knee brace fittings, compression stockings, mastectomy bras, as well as scooters, lift chairs and other mobility products. Basically anything that can help people be more independent in their homes and in their daily lives.”
- Jonathan Broderick
The store offers delivery five days a week within the town area, and also offers free delivery to areas such as Georgetown, Cardigan, Murray River and Murray Harbour once weekly. “I think it is important that our patients can feel confident that they won’t run into a situation where they maybe can’t pick up their medication, and don’t have to go without,” says Broderick. “Delivery is mainly for prescription drugs, but if we are already heading out to their house, we don’t mind adding a few household staples like dish detergent or shampoo if needed.” The pharmacy’s delivery service is just one prime example of the important role that community pharmacies like Montague Pharmasave play in addressing the healthcare needs of the community. “We are located right in Montague, but a lot of our patients are either living in rural areas or another municipality close by,” says Broderick. “It can be more of a challenge for them to travel as much, so this service can really take the burden or the worry away because they know that we can help them out if
they are in a situation where they can’t make it in.”
With fall here and winter around the corner, as well as the ongoing pandemic, Broderick says it’s crucial that people consider getting their flu shot this year. “It is covered for Prince Edward Island residents and in very uncertain times, this can at least take the risk of influenza down,” he says, adding that he and his staff “are always here to help patients with questions and health concerns. We really want the communities we serve to know that we are here ready to help and we have their back!”
“With the current pandemic, it can be more of a challenge for people with mobility issues or health conditions to get out as much as they are used to,” says Broderick. “Being able to deliver patients their medications can decrease the risk that may be present when they go into stores.”
