About The Team
Atlantic Health System Pharmacy Departments service multiple outpatient areas, including several infusion centers, retail pharmacy services, and health clinics.

A convenient service is having your prescriptions you receive at discharge filled and ready for pick‑up before you leave to go home, making the discharge process easier for you and your family or friends since there is no need to stop at your retail pharmacy on the way home.
