MyEMMA – pharmacy automation for where you are at!

Medications are an important part of staying healthy for many people; however, it can get complicated. You may be good with a medication box, or using our freely available compliance packs. Some people may want something that can actually remind when their medications are due and track the medications that they only take when they need them. This is where our new product called MyEMMA fits in.

MyEMMA, once plugged in and connected to a wifi signal can get updates directly from the pharmacy when meds are changed and will also let the pharmacy know when you are running low so we can come and add the necessary drugs before you run out. Remote access for monitoring can be shared with a physician or a loved one. MyEMMA will remind you when your medication is due with an audible sound and does provide options to accept or reject medicine. There is also an onscreen option for individuals to take meds that they only need occasionally (including pain meds, medication for nausea, etc.).

Below is a short video on MyEMMA.

Typically, this is a relatively affordable product with no set-up fee and a $130/month lease price and $20/month for the pharmacy to provide the specially packaged medications for the MyEMMA. This gives it a total price tag of $150/month which is a lot less than having a medication service come to you to provide your meds at the appropriate time. That can often cost closer to $700/month. As this is a new product for us as well we are trying to encourage a number of people to take a free two month trial. We are offering this service currently to anyone within 10 miles of our store. If this is something you are interested in or have additional questions please call us at 412-243-1369 or use our contact form.

This is yet another way we are working to be your essential pharmacy.

The Craft Show is This Saturday

Our Third Annual Craft Show is this Saturday (8/13/22) from 9AM – 2PM. Of course, organizing this craft show reminds me of the time I had the really unusual opportunity to organize Dwayne Johnson’s craft room. Unfortunately, I lost his scrapbook cutting tool. That’s right, I lost the Rock’s paper scissors. Hopefully I will still be able to find my scissors when this craft show is done

One of our crafters only wants to make miniature Jesus figurines.

I remember when my Dad won a baguette in a raffle.

He was the family bread winner!

There was the time a friend of mine decided to include my thesaurus in a raffle without asking me first.
I was at a loss for words.

So we are getting ready for our annual craft show and raffle. This is our big Summer fundraiser. The Raffle will begin on August 13th along with our craft show and will be drawn on Labor Day. We are looking for people that would be interested in donating baskets. All of the proceeds will go to our patient care fund. If you are interested please let us know.

What kind of soda should our soda jerks jerk?

Not to be confused with Peter Piper or a tongue twisted wood chuck, our opening questioning is prepping you for a poll on our 98 year old vintage soda fountain! Charlie Scott and Art Passante have done a tremendous job of restoring our fountain so that our soda jerks (Bev, Tammy, Deb, Jacob, Emenet, and Sasha) can actually jerk soda fountain heads. That is how the job title of soda jerk came about, because of the jerking motion they made when using the soda fountain. For the time being we have club soda on the head to the furthest right, we will have water on the middle head (it is only designed for water and can not produce a carbonated beverage), and that leaves us with the head on the left. Do we use a cola or root beer? Root beer has the obvious joy of creating frothy floats and maybe even an option for a bottomless root beer float! On the other hand, having cola on that head opens up options for cherry colas, vanilla colas, chocolate colas, etc. While we wait for the results, you should come in and order a vanilla soda, a cherry soda, a chocolate egg cream, or whatever else using the club soda on our fountain along with whatever syrups you want us to add.

This poll is no longer accepting votes
