WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. – Driven by low utilization and pharmaceutical reimbursement rates, Berkshire Health Systems has made the necessary decision to close the Williamstown Apothecary, effective Thursday, Nov. 14, 2024.

 

Williamstown Apothecary patient prescriptions will be transferred to the Berkshire Community Pharmacy at North Adams, with the availability of free at-home delivery or free delivery by mail. Affected staff will be offered similar positions within Berkshire Health Systems.
