A New Name, A Familiar Experience
Our ownership, team, and commitment to care have not changed. You will still see the same friendly faces, receive the same thoughtful service, and trust the same pharmacy you’ve relied on for years.
How We Started
Like many humble beginnings, ours started with a belief that a group of people who believed in something different, could create and contribute something great.
Northway Pharmacy Homecare is a locally-owned, independent pharmacy with over 30 years of experience servicing our Winnipeg and surrounding area communities. We started off with home-visits, pharmacist-run clinics and our humble location on Leila Avenue. We have always believed in challenging the status quo and progressing the important role of pharmacy in the healthcare system at large.
At Northway Pharmacy Homecare, we believe that quality healthcare should be accessible to all members of our community.
Quality to us means consistent, genuine care and innovative practices that lead to successful clinical outcomes. We achieve this with a team who believes in kindness, efficiency and values making lasting positive impacts in all that we do. We are always open to ideas and on the cusp of something new. We believe that this is what it takes to proactively fill in the gaps of our medical system.
We are a team who are proud of what we do because we do all things with big heart and one day we hope that it will make big change.
Our Belief
Our Mission
Our wide range of unique services caters to every need, but what truly makes us special is the team who welcomes and tends to you and your loved ones like family.
