More than a pharmacy: McCabes Pharmacy Parkway, a true community health resource

More than a pharmacy: McCabes Pharmacy Parkway, a true community health resource

Located in Parkway Shopping Centre, McCabes Pharmacy is a cornerstone of the Limerick community and a trusted health and wellness partner to generations of local families.

Their highly-trained, advice-led teams are on hand, whether it’s guiding new parents through those precious and sometimes overwhelming early days, offering expert advice on everyday health concerns, supporting adults in managing chronic conditions or helping seniors navigate complex medication needs. 

McCabes Pharmacy is aware that while the community's needs have evolved, so too has the pharmacy. They have introduced new convenient and innovative ways to help you manage your health and wellbeing.

Pharmacy Manager, Sandra Drea has been with the pharmacy 16 years and has seen first-hand the value of pharmacies in the community: “Aligning with McCabes Pharmacy’s ethos ‘Better health for every body’ the team in Parkway Shopping Centre strive for this each day. We are always putting the patients first and championing their wellness, providing advice and support. Pharmacies have always been more than just a place to pick up prescriptions. We see our role as frontline health providers, offering vaccinations, health screening services and always being accessible to our local community.” 

In addition to vaccinations, blood pressure and BMI measurements, some of the latest services to launch include a weight management service, complete screening cholesterol test, diabetes testing and travel vaccinations. McCabes Pharmacy Parkway are also available to partner with local businesses and schools to offer convenient on-site flu vaccinations, helping protect the community during flu season. 

Leading the way in patient centric care, McCabes Pharmacy Parkway will also be hosting a Stoma Care Clinic on Thursday, September 4, where patients or any of their local community are invited to book a private appointment with a Community Ostomy Nurse Service.

Looking ahead, Sandra is planning to expand the pharmacy’s reach saying, “We’re just getting started. Our goal is to become a true health resource for every family in this area and we’ve more exciting health services launching this year, so watch this space.”

McCabes Pharmacy understands that the needs of the community are constantly evolving and they have evolved right alongside them.
