Valley Health Pharmacies is one of the fastest growing independent pharmacy chains that services communities and residents of long-term care, retirement and group homes. We provide pharmaceutical services to residents in long-term care, retirement homes, and continuing care facilities through our various locations.

All locations have pharmacists and pharmacy team members with certified training and expertise in Geriatric Medicine, Mental Health, Diabetes, Pain Management, Addictions and many other specialty areas. We also employ and collaborate with nurses, personal support workers, addictions counsellors, case and crisis workers, housing agents, and other professionals who share the same mission as we do – achieving Wellness.
