Beebe Healthcare has acquired Cape Pharmacy and officially took over operations Nov. 1.
Open six days a week, the pharmacy is located in the Villages of Five Points at 17252 N Village Main Blvd., No. 3, Lewes.
“A beloved local business, Cape Pharmacy will remain part of the community, while Beebe strategically enhances pharmacy services for Sussex County,” said Bill Chasanov, DO, MBA, FACP, senior vice president, chief health systems design officer. “This new endeavor offers Beebe the opportunity to offer a full-service outpatient pharmacy that is seamless for our patients, team members and community.”
Under Beebe, the continuum of care will improve for patients and customers with the services that can be offered by Cape Pharmacy. Hospital inpatients will be able to receive their medications at discharge, creating a more smooth and convenient transition from hospital to home. Current Cape Pharmacy team members are transitioning to Team Beebe and look forward to continuing the same focus on safety and quality that has been provided for more than a decade.
Cape Pharmacy was started in 2000 and was purchased in 2013 by Pat Caroll-Grant, RPh, and Joli Martini, PharmD. Under their leadership, Cape Pharmacy has served the community by providing prescription and non-prescription medications, comprehensive medication management and specialty medication packaging. There is a compounding section for pediatric, adult and veterinary patients, and they provided a delivery service to the community as well.
“We have always approached our business with passion as a patient-centered organization, which perfectly aligns with Beebe Healthcare’s strategic vision and reputation in the community,” Martini said. “There’s a person or pet behind every prescription, and there has always been a dedicated team member fulfilling that need for our community of customers. We’re so happy to be a part of the Beebe family and give our team the ability to grow with them and Sussex County.”
