Retail Pharmacy Building being Constructed on Burgess Health Center Campus
Burgess Health Center is excited to announce that a retail pharmacy building is currently under construction on the Burgess campus! The new pharmacy building will be 4,200 square feet, providing staff and customers with more space and a better experience.
The building, located east of the Emergency Department entrance drive, will have a drive-up lane and window, making it easier and faster for people to pick up their prescriptions without leaving their car. Construction is expected to take about 6–7 months.
Burgess Health Center will own the building, with Lewis Drug committed to a long-term lease. This partnership reflects a shared commitment to providing local pharmacy access and supporting the health needs of residents.
“Lewis Drug is excited to bring a state-of-the-art pharmacy to Onawa,” said Brad Tams, MBA, Senior Vice President of Store Operations. “We value our partnership with Burgess Health Center and look forward to providing the community with convenient, friendly, and reliable pharmacy services for years to come.”
This new Lewis Drug pharmacy will not sell Durable Medical Equipment, and the retail area will continue offering the same types of items found at their temporary downtown Onawa location, including health and beauty aids, over-the-counter medications, cleaning supplies, American Greeting cards, toys, and school/office supplies.
“We are excited for this new partnership with Lewis Drug, making this strategic project a reality,” said Lynn Wold, President/CEO at Burgess Health Center. “It is a testament to both organizations’ commitment to rural healthcare while improving access to vital healthcare services in Monona County.”
Updates will be shared as construction moves forward.
