Addressing Local Retail Pharmacy Demand: Signature Healthcare and Clearway Health Open Second Pharmacy
Expanded program will extend enhanced medication options, reduced financial burden and improved clinical support to more patients in East Bridgewater.
EAST BRIDGEWATER, Mass., March 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- The Brockton-region like many cities in the US has struggled to maintain convenient, reliable pharmacy access for residents. To address this need, Signature Healthcare, in partnership with Clearway Health, has opened Signature Healthcare's second pharmacy, a retail pharmacy located in East Bridgewater.
The 895 square-foot pharmacy located in a multispecialty medical office building at 1 Donalds Way, Suite 101, is open to patients and the community Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m.-5:00 p.m., beginning March 12, 2026. A ribbon cutting ceremony is being held at 12:00 PM today at the pharmacy to celebrate the opening.
The pharmacy is equipped to care for every patient, whether they need a straightforward prescription or a complex medication. These services strengthen the support provided by the hospital's specialty pharmacy at 110 Liberty Street in Brockton, which Signature Healthcare and Clearway Health opened in August 2022. Pharmacy services include filling prescriptions, home delivery, immunizations, and a selection of over-the-counter medications.
The new pharmacy will help to fill the gap from pharmacy closures in the area and a growing demand for retail pharmacy medication access. According to a recent report by the Massachusetts Health Policy Commission (HPC), the number of pharmacies in the state has decreased by nearly 200 (from 1,134 to 940), a 17.1% decline, which has had a significant impact on patient medication access.
Together, Signature Healthcare and Clearway Health will operate the pharmacy to ensure patients throughout East Bridgewater and surrounding communities are connected to vital medications.
"With pharmacies closing in the region, Signature Healthcare recognized the need for more convenient and reliable medication access. Our Liberty Street pharmacy with Clearway Health has been a huge success, processing a large number of prescriptions," said David Young, MLS, RPh, PRS, vice president of pharmacy operations for Signature Healthcare. "We wanted to expand our pharmacy offerings to reach more of the community and are pleased to be available now to those in East Bridgewater."
"Over the years we have built a strong partnership with Signature Healthcare that has delivered significant impact to their pharmacy services and patient care," said Brandon Newman, PharmD, MMHC, CSP, chief executive officer of Clearway Health. "We're incredibly proud of these results and look forward to continuing to grow this program and extend this care to the East Bridgewater community."
