Lurie Children’s to open specialty pharmacy

By: Alexandra Murphy

Lurie Children’s Hospital, based in Chicago, will open its first outpatient specialty pharmacy in partnership with Clearway Health.

The 2,050-square-foot facility, set to open in late 2026, will be on the third floor of the new Lurie Children’s Outpatient and Infusion Center located in Schaumburg, Ill., according to an April 22 news release from Clearway.

The pharmacy aims to support pediatric patients who have complex medical conditions by providing access to medications typically unavailable at retail pharmacies. In addition, the pharmacy will integrate pharmacy services with Lurie Children’s care teams to better streamline medication management.

Services will include patient education, treatment monitoring, and help with insurance-related processes such as prior authorizations and financial assistance, the release said.
