Since 1946, Wagner Pharmacy Company has been serving the pharmaceutical needs of Clinton’s elderly. As a fixture in the community for over 60 years, we pride ourselves on offering the highest level of patient and facility service in the region. In 2007, we branched off of our parent company to create a more senior care focused pharmacy, called Wrightway LTC Pharmacy. As our elder populations steadily grow, we felt the change was necessary to focus our efforts on these key patients, and make sure they get the special attention they deserve. Our services are many, and while they are very patient centric, the benefits to the facilities we serve are also undeniable. Read on and see what Wrightway LTC Pharmacy can do for your patients and your facility.
