NDSU’s Thrifty Concept Pharmacy, a licensed pharmacy located in the College of Pharmacy, Nursing, and Allied Sciences and staffed by faculty of Department of Pharmacy Practice, is offering health and wellness services at no charge to NDSU faculty and staff.

Faculty and staff are eligible to sign up for an appointment if they are taking at least three medications. Participants will receive a comprehensive review of all medications and a blood pressure reading. These encounters will contain medication costs and identify and manage medication problems. Participants have the option to receive cholesterol and blood glucose screening at no charge. A similar appointment and health screenings could cost up to $100 at a local pharmacy.

One-hour appointments will be conducted the week of Feb. 14-18, 2011, in Sudro Hall 108. A limited number of appointments are available. The deadline for registering is Jan. 20, 2011.
