Blanchfield Army Community Hospital’s Town Center Pharmacy to close April 29th

Blanchfield Army Hospital - BACH - Fort Campbell KYFort Campbell, KY – The Town Center Pharmacy will be closed Saturday, April 29th, for scheduled upgrades to the Blanchfield Army Community Hospital network that will make the pharmacy’s information technology applications unavailable.   

BACH’s information technology team is slated to upgrade network applications throughout the spring. Although these upgrades are taking place during dates  and times that have the least amount of impact on patient care, it is impossible to make all upgrades without impacting the hospital’s busiest pharmacy, the Town Center.

The Town Center Pharmacy will close for a single Saturday, as personnel will not have access to pharmacy systems necessary to process new or access historic medication information and therefore, will not be able to safely process and dispense prescriptions.

The Town Center will reopen Monday, May 1st, during normal operating hours.

“We encourage anyone in the community who typically uses the Town Center Pharmacy to mark their calendars that the Town Center Pharmacy will not be open Saturday, April 29th. If patients know they may have medication needs, we suggest they plan accordingly to get them filled before April 29th,” said Lt. Col. Ronald Foley, Director of Pharmacy Services.

“We strive to offer accurate and safe pharmacy services to all patients receiving our services and appreciate you choosing BACH pharmacies to fill your prescriptions; this one day closure is absolutely required to upgrade and enhance the BACH network to meet the latest DoD requirements.”
