This pharmacy soon will be renovated and managed by the Johns Hopkins Outpatient Pharmacy. Nathan Thompson, director, with Tegi Joseph, Monument Street pharmacy manager.

The Johns Hopkins Outpatient Pharmacy will open a pharmacy this month on the East Baltimore campus. It will be located at 1810 E. Monument St., next to Bank of America in space previously occupied by the CVS/Pharmacare Pharmacy.

The Johns Hopkins Outpatient Pharmacy at Monument Street will be a professional pharmacy, dispensing prescriptions and providing over-the-counter medications and home medical equipment. It will serve both patients and employees. The pharmacy will also provide specialty prescription dispensing for patients receiving organ transplants at Hopkins. It will expand early next year to include “employee-friendly” services, such as discounts, dedicated waiting areas and prescription counseling.

The pharmacy is the fifth in a group of outpatient pharmacies managed by Pharmaquip, a division of the Johns Hopkins Home Care Group. The others are located in Weinberg, the Outpatient Center, Moore Clinic and Bayview Medical Center. Each specializes in prescriptions relevant to their particular patient population.

While the Outpatient Pharmacy at Monument Street is closed for renovations, patients can visit the other three pharmacies on the East Baltimore campus for prescription dispensing services.
