The pharmacy serves patients who require specialty drug plans that are not typically available at neighborhood drug stores.

Dedicated pharmacists and medication access specialists work directly with provider teams to help start specialty medicines and support individual care plans. Pharmacists assist patients in understanding how their medicine works, how to take it, potential side effects, safety with other medications, and any special handling requirements. They are available to help in the clinic, on the phone, or through MyChart. Medication access specialists collaborate with pharmacists to help dispense medicine at an affordable cost, assisting with insurance, copay costs, refills, and deliveries. The team works with insurers to secure prescription coverage and connects patients with assistance programs to lower copay costs whenever possible. Free delivery to the home is offered, or patients can pick up medicine at the Strong Memorial Hospital Outpatient Pharmacy location or the Employee Pharmacy. The pharmacy also provides disease-specific programs that support treatment and monitors patient response and side effects.

The location sits on Elmwood Avenue, about a tenth of a mile from the University of Rochester Medical Center Main Campus and the University of Rochester Medical Center Campus. It is also about two tenths of a mile from the Edward G. Miner Library and the ADream of Two Snakes public artwork.

The pharmacy is part of the University of Rochester Medicine system, serving patients across multiple medical specialties with specialized medication support.
