Algood Family Pharmacy
About Algood Family Pharmacy in Cookeville, TN
Algood Family Pharmacy is a locally owned independent pharmacy serving the Algood community and surrounding areas of Putnam County. Independent pharmacies like Algood Family exist because they do things chain pharmacies can't - the pharmacist knows your name, knows your medications, and will actually pick up the phone and talk through a drug interaction or dosage question without putting you on hold for 20 minutes. The personal relationship with a community pharmacist is one of the most underutilized healthcare resources available, and at Algood Family Pharmacy, that relationship is built into the model. For families who want a pharmacy where they're a customer rather than a queue number, this is the right choice.
