The staff at Hoagland Pharmacy organized a softball game to promote a friendly competition between our retail store and Long Term Care facility and involve our families that also give a lot to Hoagland Pharmacy. Both teams practiced night and day, rain or shine to ensure they were ready to win.

On June 27^th, 2010 Hoagland Pharmacy’s staff and families arrived at the Bender fields in Lynden to enjoy Hoagland Pharmacy’s First Inaugural Retail vs. LTC Softball Game. As the day began, cheerful staff from our retail store showed up in colorful tie dye shirts with the Hoagland Pharmacy logo and their names on the back, while the staff at LTC came to battle it out in sporty grey and black t-shirts with war paint on their cheeks. Ready for a head to head competition, both teams took the field for a little practice. The other staff and families cheered in the stands with noise makers as the retail team was first up to bat.

In the first inning, Retail came in the lead with 2 home runs, but LTC was not going down without a fight. For the duration of the 8-inning game, LTC tied it up and made the remainder of the 16 home runs with some jaw dropping slides and great team work. The Long Term care team absorbed a 16-2 win to the Retail store just before the rain clouds started their tyranny.

After LTC’s big win, Hoagland Pharmacy staff and families took cover under the pavilion and had a great potluck feast. When the clouds parted there were games for the kids, including a cake walk, which proved to be quite tasty for all the kids who participated.

We would like to thank everyone who came out and made Hoagland Pharmacy’s First Inaugural Retail vs. LTC Softball Game and Potluck a huge success. Special Thank You to Julius Goldman, Kira Lockman, Kristy Green and Megan Monaghan for helping to organize this special event. Another game is scheduled, August 15^th at the Geri Fields near the Civic Field, for a longer 10-inning rematch.

Check out some great pics from the day!

We thank you for your patience as we make our way through this crazy flu season!

Wow, we had a fabulous turn out for flu vaccinations on Saturday. For all you who braved the wind and the rain, thanks for coming out. With that said, we are once again out of both the seasonal vaccines and H1N1 vaccines. Please check back here for updates as to when we will have more in.

In case you’ve forgotten, there’s still a week left to receive 15% off of your Barlean’s Organic Oil purchases. If you haven’t tried them yet, now’s a good opportunity! Hope to see you in!

This Saturday, 7 November, we will be administering the last of our current stock of 175 doses of seasonal flu vaccines (with preservatives) for ages 4 and up.

We also have 30 doses left of the preservative-free pediatric seasonal vaccine for ages 6 months – 36 months and 5 doses of FluMist left. Stop on by the retail pharmacy this Saturday for your seasonal flu vaccine!

Going on a trip? Need a tetanus booster? We offer more than just flu vaccines.

Please call ahead to arrange a time.

Check out the list of vaccines we offer over on our immunizations page. If you have any questions about pricing or the vaccines, please contact Ruth Lang, LPN at 734.5413 x118.

We are once again out of seasonal flu shots for ages 4 years through adults. It seems to be a cutthroat biz out there when it comes to flu shots this year. If we get another shipment in, we will let you know.

Just a reminder that a representative from Barlean’s Organic Oils will be at the retail store tomorrow (Oct 30th) between noon and 4 to answer any product questions you may have and to hand out samples. In conjunction with that we are offering 15% off all our Barlean’s products until November 16th.
