WVU Medicine pharmacies offer you personalized care, prompt and accurate prescription refills, patient education, and more. Our full-service pharmacies are available for patients, students, WVU Medicine employees, and the community. We take pride in offering our patients advanced services that are not commonly available at other pharmacies and competitive pricing strategies.
For added convenience, you can receive your prescriptions through free home delivery by mail and receive automatic refills for qualifying prescriptions.
WVU Medicine has three retail pharmacy locations in Morgantown, West Virginia, to better serve you:
- Discharge Pharmacy at J.W. Ruby Memorial Hospital
- Medical Center Pharmacy at the Physician Office Center, first floor

There are many benefits to choosing WVU Medicine pharmacies for your health and prescription needs, including:
- An assortment of over-the-counter medications and health supplies
- Free and convenient parking
- Free home delivery through the mail
- Medication compounding
- Medication therapy management
- Private counseling with a pharmacist
- Savings on specialty medication
- Specialty medications and injectable prescriptions on-site
We bill most insurance and major pharmacy prescription plans, and accept all forms of payment. A 10 percent discount is available for senior citizens and WVU faculty, staff, and students on over-the-counter medications.
Medication Compounding Services
If you have a medical condition that requires custom-made medications, our pharmacists are able to provide you with unique custom drug strengths or a combination of medications that are not available in a pre-manufactured way. We also provide smaller dosage formats for people with swallowing difficulties and prescription flavoring to help children take their medicine. Not all pharmacies are able to offer compounding services, and WVU Medicine pharmacies are proud to offer you this specialty care.
Blood Glucose Monitor Training
Some blood glucose monitors are easier to use than others. Our pharmacy staff is available by appointment to help patients with diabetes learn how to correctly operate testing systems and ensure that you receive the most accurate readings.
We know that test strips and monitor supplies can be expensive, so if you’re looking to purchase a blood glucose monitor, we can help verify that your insurance company covers the cost of the supplies.
Contact us at 304-598-4848 to schedule an appointment for diabetes equipment education or medication counseling.
