The new pharmacy is not open to the public but instead, serves all of the pharmacy needs of patients staying overnight at the hospital.
“The new pharmacy provides us with more space and upgraded technology, offering enhanced safety for both patients and staff,” said Fazio. “In addition, the new pharmacy will assure that we are ready for new regulations related to pharmaceuticals and medication in the future.”
“The completion of this project reflects the commitment of The Queen’s Health Systems to the provision of quality care to the people of North Hawai’i,” said Kamikawa.
