Pharmacy services
Our pharmacists not only provide medications used in the hospitals, they are also medication use experts, provide information on the best ways to give medications, minimize the possibility of drug or food interactions, and avoid medication errors.
Inpatient pharmacy
Pharmacists are integrated into your care teams to provide real time medication information and help you get the most benefit from your medications.

Inform caregivers – Share allergies or medications you cannot take, along with past reactions.

Research pharmacy
The Investigational Drug Service (IDS) supports all clinical drug-related research conducted by investigators at Atlantic Health System. The IDS provides the support needed to assure safe and efficient conduct of clinical drug trials including compliance with federal, state, and Joint Commission requirements regarding investigational drugs.
Medications & pain management
During your hospital stay, you will frequently be asked about your pain. Our staff wants to ensure that your pain is controlled, and we partner with you to monitor and control your pain. When new medications are introduced, we will review what the medication is for, any possible side effects and note the medication on your patient itinerary.
