Patient Information ▼ Services & Programs ▼ Providers Clinics Procurement About Us Contact Us Jobs ▼ Employees Pharmacy The pharmacy performs three distinct functions from one central location. Our staff consists of 5 pharmacists and 6 pharmacy technicians to meet the ongoing needs of patients in Bristol Bay. We provide pharmacy services to those patients seen in the walk-in clinic. Our proximity to the outpatient clinic allows for meaningful collaboration with providers. Pharmacists are then available to provide information to patients regarding newly started medications. The Kanakanak Pharmacy opens at 8:00am and closes at 5:00pm. There is a pharmacist devoted to caring for patients admitted to the hospital. A pharmacist is also available 24/7 for inpatient services. This ensures that all medication orders, written for these patients, are reviewed in a timely manner. Finally, we care for the patients residing in our extended service unit by providing their prescriptions via mail service. We work collaboratively with the health aides to ensure medications included in the CHAM are available to patients receiving care at the village clinics. Patients are also able to contact their health aide to request refills of medications, which are transmitted to the pharmacy via our electronic health record. Need a Prescription Medication Refilled? Choosing the best refill option for you: Has your doctor included refills on your prescription? Check the label. If the label shows a number next to the “refills” section, that’s how many times you can get more of your medicine without going back to see your doctor or health aide. In person: Go to the Kanakanak Pharmacy. By phone: If you have a health aide in your community – Call and she/he will check if you have any refills available/left. If current, the health aide will order medication, if not current, the health aide will call the patient to be seen and to consult with a physician to determine if refilling is an option. Call the Pharmacy 1-907-842-9235 (listed on your medication label). This is a direct line to the Pharmacy Department. Call the main Kanakanak Hospital number during office hours, 1-907-842-5201 or 1-800-478-5201 and ask to be connected to the Pharmacy Department. You will be routed to the 842-9235 number. Call the automated refill line (listed on your medication label) at 1-907-842-9402 or toll free from outside Dillingham 1-877-842-9402 (to use you will need your chart number and prescription (RX) number which can be found on your prescription label). You should know: Medications which are not a controlled substance may be refilled 7 days before you are out (this would be the 23rd day of a 30 day prescription). A controlled substance* may be refilled 2 days before you are out. Regulations allow refill when 93% of the medication is gone (this would be on the 28th day of a 30 day prescription). Controlled substances require a signed doctor’s order before medication can be refilled. If you order a refill on a Friday, or before a holiday weekend, please call early in the morning and ask the health aide to call the pharmacy by 12 pm (to ensure there is an order) – this will allow your medication to be mailed out Friday afternoon.
