Tantramar Pharmacy opened February 14, 1991 by
George Murray and Michael Bass. From an opening staff of three, the staff has
grown to ten. The concept of a small prescription center focusing on patients’
health needs in an integrated setting with family physicians, a dentist and
optometrist has been a success. Tantramar Pharmacy’s location in the
Tantramar Community Heath Centre, only steps away from the Sackville Memorial
Hospital, has helped create a one stop health service. We take pride
in working closely with other health professionals and patients providing
the best care possible. As a pharmacist and owner, I invite you to contact
us if our team of dedicated professionals can assist you with your health care
needs.
Tantramar Pharmacy Your Partners in Health.
