Citizens Memorial Hospital is acquiring the Evans Drugs pharmacies in Bolivar and Buffalo, effective Dec. 1.

The Buffalo location will be renamed CMH Buffalo Community Pharmacy and will remain open at its current location at 315 S. Ash St. next to Woods Supermarket. Hours will remain 8 a.m.-5:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. The Bolivar location in Woods Supermarket will close Nov. 26, and prescriptions will be transferred to Stephens Pharmacy at CMH, 1100 S. Springfield Ave. in Bolivar.

"We have had a good relationship with Evans Drugs through the years, and we’re excited to welcome their Bolivar and Buffalo employees to CMH," said Calhoun. “We already offer numerous health care services in Buffalo. The pharmacy addition will streamline access to medications for our many patients in Dallas County, making it easier for them to get the care they need close to home."
