OXFORD, Miss. – The University of Mississippi’s Student Health Pharmacy has changed its name to Student and Employee Pharmacy Health Services and expanded its offerings to provide pharmacy services to employees.
“The main goal of Pharmacy Health Services and the pharmacy school is to improve health care and make it more available,” said David D. Allen, dean of the School of Pharmacy. “Providing pharmacy services to the entire Ole Miss community was a natural next step in fulfilling the school’s mission of improving health, well-being and quality of life.”
The renaming better reflects the scope of services and target population, said Chad Westmoreland, a pharmacist at the center.
“Up until this year, our prescription services were limited to current Ole Miss students, but now we have expanded to provide services for university students, employees and employee families,” he said.
“We will provide the same services as always – prescriptions, medication counseling, immunizations – with the addition of on-campus delivery upon request to faculty-staff and the option for payment through payroll deduction.”
Hours of operation are 7:30 a.m.-5 p.m. Mondays through Thursdays and 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Fridays. For more information, call 662-915-5279, visit https://healthcenter.olemiss.edu/pharmacy/ or email umpharmacy@olemiss.edu.
