Blending Traditional Pharmacy
With Natural Medicine

(Tannersville, NY - October 31, 2022) – Ed Ullmann, Chief Pharmacist and Chief Operating Officer (CEO) of Wellness Rx Pharmacy, 5980 Main Street in Tannersville, NY announced today that Wellness Rx Pharmacy and Pharmacy for the Public Good (PPG) have signed a five (5) year lease agreement to bring a Wellness Center and Pharmacy to Phoenicia, NY, in the Town of Shandaken.

‍As we end 2022 and come to terms with a worldwide pandemic that has killed over one million Americans, it’s now time to reflect on some of the changes, new norms and challenges that our society will face in the years ahead. Some changes will be positive, some negative, but we will be creating A New America that generations to come will be shaped by. Here’s some of the important trends that we are watching and the myriad of questions we should ask ourselves and our community leaders.

Bonnie was quiet, but did she have plenty to say. An incredible woman who was dealt a lousy hand but somehow relished playing it everyday.

At Wellness Rx, consultations are at the top of the list of our patient care priorities. Not everyone needs to speak with our pharmacy team, but personalized consultations are the strength and foundation of how patient centric pharmacies, apothecaries and drug stores help their clients to fully understand what their doctors have prescribed for them.

Close to home here in the Catskills while the nation endured a paralyzing pandemic, Ed Ullmann of the mountain top community pharmacy Wellness Rx, figured out that corporate pharmacy and healthcare in America were under-serving those that needed help the most and found a way to change that immediately. He designed a blueprint to open America’s first community nonprofit pharmacy, for the public good of all and mostly to help tomorrow’s kids. He would convert his Tannersville location to a nonprofit business model to protect it and save it from corporate raiders and then open the first “Pharmacy for the Public Good” in Phoenicia, NY in the summer of 2022.‍

Ed Ullmann is the owner and pharmacy manager of Wellness Rx, a holistic and patient-centered pharmacy in Tannersville, and soon ... Phoenicia! Far from the chain store aesthetic (or lack thereof) the Tannersville location where we met is a meticulously painted Victorian with a wraparound porch. Inside there's a warm general store vibe, with wood floors and pharmacy cases, and a diverse inventory of traditional, natural, and holistic medicine; plus home goods, gifts, and crafts by dozens of local vendors. Ed Ullmann showed us around, and then we settled into a comfortable consultation room, to hear his vision for sustainable rural healthcare.
