Syosset Pharmacy opened last fall at 175 Jericho Turnpike, adjacent to Northwell Health Syosset Hospital in the medical professional building’s west lobby suite. The brand new ‘smart pharmacy’ is specifically designed with customer service for the sophisticated, discerning demographic of the Town of Oyster Bay including the communities of Woodbury, Syosset and Jericho. On Monday January 14 the Syosset Woodbury Chamber of Commerce gathered for a grand opening and ribbon-cutting ceremony with the company executives and Nassau County Legislators Arnold C.

The Chamber of Commerce learned of the vision behind Syosset Pharmacy as it represents an integral (and often intricate) part of patients’ long-term medical care plans. Online, Syosset Pharmacy’s tagline is “Quality Pharmaceutical service for securing your Health.” Weinberg says there’s a comprehensive blend of new technologies and the old-fashioned local pharmacy 1:1 interaction involved in setting up Syosset Pharmacy and its sister locations on Long Island. “Patients get to know us and we offer personal service, the way it used to be.
