Kramer's Pharmacy

Kramer's Pharmacy points to the old-fashioned neighborhood pharmacy model, where people go for prescriptions, over-the-counter medicine, and basic health advice rather than hospital-level care. By our assessment, that kind of place is strongest at routine dispensing and at being a nearby stop for medicines you need quickly. The trade-off is that a pharmacy is not a clinic, so the ceiling is limited by what pharmacists can actually provide on site. In practice it is shelves, counters, labels, insurance or payment questions, and the back-and-forth that comes with getting the right medication filled. It sits between a convenience store and a medical office, which is exactly why it is useful. Kramer's Pharmacy should make sense to anyone who wants ordinary pharmacy service and not a bigger health system.
