OHHC Opens In-House Pharmacy

The Ohio Hills Health Center’s Pharmacy is now open and ready to serve the patients of OHHC. The Pharmacy is located on the first floor of OHHC-Barnesville, 101 East Main Street, Barnesville, Ohio 43713. It is a closed-door pharmacy which means the pharmacy is limited to the medical, dental, and behavioral health patients of OHHC. Patients from all OHHC facilities can utilize the pharmacy. This pharmacy will result in considerable cost savings for patients.

“The OHHC Pharmacy has been years in the planning, and we are excited to finally be able to open the pharmacy to provide cost savings to our underserved patients and communities,” said Jeff Britton, CEO, OHHC. “The 340B Drug Pricing Program utilized by our pharmacy will allow us to maintain, improve, and expand access to patient care services and programs which will improve the health and well-being of our patients and communities.”

The pharmacy is under the direction of John Jeffries, a respected local pharmacist with over 40 years of experience in the profession. Alicia Rataiczak is the Pharmacy Tech, and she comes to OHHC with over eight years of retail pharmacy experience.

“It has been my privilege to be involved with the pharmacy throughout the planning phase and it is exciting that we are now ready to serve the community,” said Jeffries. “I know many factors go into choosing a pharmacy and I encourage people to give me a call if they have questions or need additional information. I am glad to discuss the OHHC pharmacy and how it might benefit them.”

Ohio Hills Health Centers Pharmacy is committed to providing personalized care, convenient services, and trusted expertise to meet the healthcare needs of families and individuals throughout the region. The Pharmacy hours are 8 am-4:30 pm, Monday to Friday. The Pharmacy has a direct line and can be reached by calling 740-425-5081.
