Erie, Pa.-based AHN Saint Vincent has purchased a former Rite Aid pharmacy property for $1.65 million, according to a May 4 report from the Erie Times-News.

The property has been vacant since June, when Rite Aid closed its pharmacies in Erie and across the country.

Hospital officials did not disclose plans for the site, according to the report. The acquisition follows similar purchases of former Rite Aid properties in the area, including a $3.85 million purchase by Erie-based LECOM Health in January and a $2.2 million acquisition by Erie Insurance in 2024, both of which remain vacant.

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.
