About Us

Our Mission

At Medica Pharmacy, we are dedicated to providing the highest quality care to every patient who walks through our doors. We believe in building meaningful relationships with each individual and will never treat anyone as a number.
Patient care is always our top priority. We will always seek new ways to improve and expand the care we offer to meet the needs of our community.
A pharmacy represents one of the most accessible points of healthcare, making it our responsibility to address the questions and concerns of all patients who seek our aid. Every patient equally deserves our time and effort and we're committed to helping you develop an individualized care plan that works for you. Whether you're visiting us for the first time or you’ve been with us for years, we welcome you to ask questions, share feedback, and stay in touch. We're always happy to hear from you.

The Bocce Court

You may have noticed the bocce courts next to the pharmacy. Bocce is a traditional italian game that’s also enjoyed by many other cultures, known as boules in France and similar to lawn bowling in England. It’s a game of skill, strategy, and fun.
These courts were built by the owner of Medica Pharmacy, Francesco Vella, as a way to improve the east end of Erie Street and create a space that brings people together from all over. Whether you're joining in on a game or just stopping by for ice cream from across the street, you're always welcome to hang out at the courts and enjoy the atmosphere.
