The Galion, Ohio-based system, which operates three hospitals in North Central Ohio, renovated a portion of its existing office space to build the pharmacy, according to a Feb. 17 news release. In addition to prescription and over-the-counter medications, the location will offer car-side delivery services and secure communications to the pharmacy team through Avita’s RxLocal app. 

In 2024, Rite Aid closed hundreds of locations during a temporary bankruptcy, and the 4,490 residents of Crestline lost their only pharmacy location. 

“When we found out that Crestline was going to be without a pharmacy, we made it a priority to bring those services to the community,” Jerry Morasko, Avita’s president and CEO, said in the release. 

At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
