Madigan Drive-Thru Pharmacy Tips
- Despite making every effort to minimize the impact to our patients, and reducing wait times recently, unfortunately expect wait times at the Madigan Drive-Thru pharmacy.
- If you turn your vehicle engine off while waiting in line, we strongly recommend you not leave your radio on because we have had several patients experience battery-related drainage events. If you have a mobile phone, it may be best to listen to music on that device while waiting in line if your vehicle is not running.
