Pathway Pharmacy

WHO WE ARE Pathway Pharmacy is locally owned and proudly serves the Niagara region. More than a neighbourhood pharmacy, we are passionate about the health of our entire community and promise to provide the most exceptional customer service to every one of our patients. Our helpful team of staff members and our pharmacist, Freddy Soliman, will ensure each patient receives the best treatment possible. Conveniently located in the Pathstone Mental Health building, Pathway Pharmacy is attached to Niagara Family Health Centre and Niagara North Diabetic Health Team. We are excited to offer a new type of pharmacy health experience, one that is completely concentrated on patient-centred care. We offer a variety of specialized services and point-of-care testing to make managing your health easier. One of the primary reasons that Pathway Pharmacy partnered with Pathstone was to focus more deeply on mental health, and the overall health of the community. It is important to us that we keep our patients from taking more medications than necessary. We want patients to avoid using any additional medications while decreasing dependence on current prescriptions and we work closely with your doctors to address any concerns you might be experiencing. Our commitment to our patients is to advise and support each individual with more personalized care. The staff at Pathway Pharmacy are highly trained professionals, each knowledgeable team member is ready to cater to every patient’s unique needs. We pride ourselves on reduced wait times, and the unique services we provide. We welcome you to visit Pathway Pharmacy and we will guarantee you the highest care you deserve in the Niagara region.

REFILL SYNCHRONIZATION One of the major problems that patients may frequently encounter with pharmacies is having different refill schedules. This in turn affects adherence to use and instructions, which can become more cumbersome for patients to stay adherent to medications. Our system is to align all medications so that all prescriptions may be picked up on the same day. REFILL REMINDERS Never forget or have the burden and hassle of remembering when to refill your routine/repeat prescriptions. We run daily reports so we let you know when you are running out of your medications so you don’t have to worry about scheduling refills or coming in. Pathway Pharmacy has you covered and will always have your refills in order. DIABETES At Pathway Pharmacy, we are very passionate about diabetes care and we work closely with the Diabetic Health Team to create individualized goals on medications and lifestyle regimens to improve your health.

REGULAR MEDICATION REVIEWS The “Medschecks Program” is a free service where individuals can address any lifestyle or medication issues to avoid overprescribing and instructional errors. COMPLIANCE PACKAGING Pathway Pharmacy offers a program called “Dispill” – patients and customers can group all medications into one card which can then be removed for convenient travel purposes. The card will always have a list of the medications, description of tablets and additionally, if your medications need to be taken on alternate days, it will be conveniently placed in the correct spot for ease of use and to avoid mistakes.
