Experiencing Symptoms – Call Us
If you have respiratory symptoms – cough, fever, or shortness of breath – and want to be evaluated for your symptoms, we want to help. We ask that you call 509-935-8424 instead of utilizing same day appointments or express care.

NEW Health Pharmacies may be able to offer curbside pick up or mail your prescriptions to you at no cost. We are actively monitoring this developing situation and will provide updates as appropriate.
