Welcoming a new WSB sponsor: Pharmaca in The Junction

(West Seattle Pharmaca Team: Jessica, Dava, Angela, Matthew, Joanna, Meranda, Brian)
Pharmaca Integrative Pharmacy — which took over the old Morton‘s spot in The Junction last spring — has been on the WSB sponsor team since early in the month but we just got the staff together for a photo so we could introduce them to you along with sharing information they’d like you to have regarding what they’re all about: Pharmaca became the first integrative pharmacy in the U.S. back in 2000. This model brings a full-service pharmacy and complementary treatment options together under one roof so customers can enjoy the best of both worlds. Pharmaca Integrative Pharmacy is changing the way people think about their health by offering traditional pharmacy services and alternative remedies under one roof. Stores feature the best in natural products, certified staff members, safe cosmetics, fair-trade gifts and more. Band-Aids never kept such good company! Integrative medicine is now embraced by 75% of medical schools, including such prestigious names as Harvard, Stanford, Columbia, Duke, Yale, and the Mayo Clinic. From acupuncture to aromatherapy, these institutions are exploring methods of treatment beyond standard western medicine. Pharmaca customers get a choice when it comes to their health care. For example, they offer several ways to stay healthy during the flu season:

*Flu shots can be scheduled for those who want to receive immunization
*Preventive supplements like Echinacea come with free advice from our expert staff
*Prescription medications are available if your doctor recommends treatment

Expect total care when you come to Pharmaca. Your body—not to mention your mind and spirit—will thank you for it. Pharmaca is in West Seattle at 4707 California Avenue SW (map; at the Alaska Junction, next to the Farmers’ Market lot; formerly Morton’s Pharmacy), 206.932.4225. Hours are Monday–Friday 9 am-7 pm, Saturday 9 am-6 pm, Sunday 10 am-6 pm. (Online, you can find a list of the special in-store events they have coming up.) We welcome Pharmaca Integrative Pharmacy to the WSB sponsor lineup, listed here along with info on how to join the team.

    I just moved here a couple months ago, so I am not familiar with the old Morton’s, but I have used the Pharmaca pharmacy, and am impressed by their customer service. I actually talk to a live person when I need my prescription refilled, and can honestly say it’s without a doubt a million times better than the Walgreens pharmacy I used to use in Oregon. Thanks Pharmaca!

    And they have the best selection of chocolates (some organic). Note the table of chocolate front and center in the photo above.

    What I love is that they have naturopaths & herbalists there to answer all your questions about vitamins, minerals, fish oil, etc.

    If I should be taking them, why and how much. I always get really good advice from the staff there.

    I absolutely love Pharmaca!!! Their pharmacy is the best, especially their staff. I had a problem with my insurance and the lady behind the pharmacy called and got everything straightened out. Pharmaca is soooo much better than any Bartell’s or Walgreen’s, and I will never get my prescriptions filled anywhere but Pharmaca. I’m glad you guys came to West Seattle!

Sorry, comment time is over.
