New Pharmacy in Sesser

A community pharmacy is opening again in Sesser.

MediCenter Pharmacy will celebrate its grand opening at 6294 Illinois 154, inside the Sesser Community Health Center, on Monday, June 13.

The grand opening celebration will begin with a ribbon cutting at 10:45 a.m. on Monday and will continue with a free lunch, special promotions, giveaways and more.

Pharmacy hours will be 9 am. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.

MediCenter is an independently owned pharmacy. The Medicine Shoppe of Du Quoin is affiliated with the Sesser MediCenter Pharmacy.

Brad Galli, managing pharmacist at The Medicine Shoppe will also be the managing pharmacist in Sesser.

The expansion to Sesser will benefit existing Medicine Shoppe patients by bringing the pharmacy's wide-ranging service lines and focus on customer care to patients who live in Sesser and the surrounding communities.

"MediCenter fills a unique niche in the pharmacy market," says Brad Galli. "We have the comprehensive range of specialized services of big chain pharmacies, with the intense focus on customer service that you find at corner drug stores. We are proud and excited about the opportunity to bring a community pharmacy back to Sesser."
