Inpatient Pharmacy

Expert pharmaceutical care for every FCHC inpatient — verifying orders, checking interactions, dispensing medications, and counseling patients throughout their stay.

Inpatient Pharmacy

The FCHC Inpatient Pharmacy serves the medication needs of all hospital inpatients as well as patients in select outpatient departments. Our team of registered pharmacists and certified technicians are responsible for verifying all medication orders, checking for drug interactions, and dispensing both oral and IV medications throughout the health center.

Inpatient pharmacists can be found in the pharmacy and throughout the hospital — counseling patients on medications and serving as medication information experts for the care team.
