On September 18, 2024, the Tillamook County Board of County Commissioners approved a lease agreement for a building at 800 Main Avenue in downtown Tillamook for a future Tillamook County Community Health Centers (TCCHC) Pharmacy and adjoining clinical services.
A contract with a professional pharmacy provider for pharmacy services at this location is in process and is expected to go to the Board of County Commissioners in the coming weeks for consideration and approval.
The Tillamook County Health and Human Services Department’s Tillamook County Community Health Centers (TCCHC) has been working towards opening a full-service pharmacy since the 2023 closure of one of the three local pharmacies reduced community access to essential pharmacy services. The goal is to open the TCCHC pharmacy by spring 2025.
“The new pharmacy will be accessible and open to all people in our community and will offer a much-needed additional resource to support people in meeting their medication needs,” said Marlene Putman, Administrator of the Tillamook County Community Health Centers and Director of the Tillamook County Health and Human Services Department. She continued, “We are thrilled to be working towards offering these services which fit perfectly within Tillamook County Community Health Centers’ mission of accessible medical, dental, behavioral, and public health services to improve the lives of all people in Tillamook.”
More information on the pharmacy provider partner, specific services to be offered and progress towards the pharmacy and adjoining clinical services opening will be shared with the community as available in the coming months.
