Former Carney pharmacy has moved to Bowdoin Street site

The Community Care Pharmacy that operated from the lobby of the shuttered Carney Hospital has relocated its business to Bowdoin Street and the site where Hamilton Pharmacy operated up to last year.

Community Care, owned by Junghwa Lee and her family, had been in limbo earlier this summer with the imminent closure of the Dorchester Avenue hospital. After a story by The Reporter highlighted their plight, officials at the Board of Registry in Pharmacy approved the Lees’ expedited application for a move to 246 Bowdoin St. on Sept. 5 as part of the agency’s involvement in mitigation efforts related to Carney’s closing on Aug. 31.

The pharmacy held a soft opening on Bowdoin Street last week and is expected to open fully to the public sometime this week.
