(Harwich, March 7, 2016) Cape Cod Healthcare is pleased to announce a new retail pharmacy at Fontaine Outpatient Center in Harwich. The pharmacy, which opened today, is open to the public and accepts most major commercial insurances, including Medicare D and Medicaid. The Fontaine pharmacy, located at 525 Long Pond Drive in Harwich, is the second Cape Cod Healthcare retail pharmacy location on Cape Cod. The first opened at Stoneman Outpatient Center in Sandwich last fall. Like Stoneman, the Fontaine facility is home to a variety of medical practices and programs, so having a community pharmacy located there means patients’ prescriptions can be ready before they leave the premises. The pharmacy staff is on hand during business hours to consult with individual patients. For those with multiple prescriptions from more than one doctor, the staff helps to make sure those prescriptions are compatible, said CCHC pharmacy manager Angela Medeiros. The pharmacy staff also works with other specialists at Cape Cod Healthcare to help patients with insurance issues related to their prescriptions. The new Fontaine Outpatient Center Retail Pharmacy is open: • Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. • Saturday 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. The telephone number for the new Fontaine pharmacy is 508-430-3311. Also located at Fontaine Outpatient Center: • Urgent Care Center • Primary Care • Pediatrics • Behavioral Health • Radiology • CCHC Lab Services • Orthopedics • Cardiology • Endocrinology • Diabetes Care & Education Cape Cod Healthcare is the leading provider of healthcare services for residents and visitors of Cape Cod. With more than 450 physicians, 4,500 employees and 1,100 volunteers, Cape Cod Healthcare has two acute care hospitals, the Cape’s leading provider of homecare and hospice services (VNA), a skilled nursing and rehabilitation facility, an assisted living facility, the Cape’s only local laboratory service (C-Lab) and numerous health programs.
