The MDH Community Pharmacy is open seven days a week: Monday-Friday from 8 a.m.-8 p.m., Saturday from 8 a.m.-6 p.m. (closed daily from 1-1:30 p.m. for lunch), and Sunday from 10 a.m.-4 p.m.
A 20-month construction project was finalized on January 15, 2025 when the McDonough District Hospital Community Pharmacy opened its doors.
The groundbreaking ceremony for the Community Pharmacy was held in May 2023.
“Our MDH Community Pharmacy is a project that has generated a lot of excitement. Anytime you have a brand new facility construction located in a high-visibility area right in front of the hospital, people enjoy seeing the construction progress. This Pharmacy is north of $8 million dollar investment in our community, and one of the perks of our Pharmacy is all dollars spent will stay here in our community. Our Community Pharmacy has generated a lot of interest from the providers on campus and people in the community who keep asking us when the opening was going to take place,” said Bill Murdock, MDH President & Chief Executive Officer. “Our vision for the Community Pharmacy is to serve not only our patients but all residents of west-central Illinois by providing outstanding customer service. We’ve been saying during the construction process, building a Community Pharmacy with a Drive-Thru on the MDH campus provides a convenience to anyone who needs a prescription filled following an appointment. Patients have choices on where to have their prescriptions filled, we believe if you choose to use our Community Pharmacy you’ll be impressed and want to come back again.”
Patients may transfer their prescriptions to the Community Pharmacy by letting their existing pharmacist and prescriber know, or by notifying the Community Pharmacy staff. The MDH pharmacists will handle the transfers at the patients’ request.

- Medication synchronization to have all your prescriptions filled on the same day each month
