BOLIVAR, Mo. – Citizens Memorial Hospital is acquiring the Evans Drugs pharmacy locations in Bolivar and Buffalo, Mo., effective Dec. 1. “With the ever-changing landscape of independent retail pharmacies, CMH will provide great patient care and customer service in the Bolivar and Buffalo areas,” said Kevin McCullough, Pharm.D., owner of Evans Drugs. “Patients will have access to expanded pharmacy services that will help improve their overall health and well-being.” With the acquisition, CMH will have three retail pharmacies in Bolivar, Buffalo and Urbana (telepharmacy). CMH also operates a hospital pharmacy, which serves hospital patients, and the CMH Senior Pharmacy, which serves residents of long-term care facilities. "We have had a good relationship with Evans Drugs through the years, and we’re excited to welcome their Bolivar and Buffalo employees to CMH," said Michael Calhoun, CEO and executive director of CMH and CMH Foundation. “We already offer numerous health care services in Buffalo. The pharmacy addition will streamline access to medications for our many patients in Dallas County, making it easier for them to get the care they need close to home." Evans Drugs employs four pharmacy technicians and one pharmacist at both the Bolivar and Buffalo locations. CMH is offering employment to all 10 individuals. The Buffalo location will be renamed CMH Buffalo Community Pharmacy and will remain open at its current location.
