West Side Pharmacy and Compounding

05/06/2026

Choosing a pharmacy shouldn't feel like choosing between speed or service. At West Side Pharmacy, we’ve mastered the balance because we know that while your health is our priority, your time is your life.

Less Waiting, More Living.

We work hard to be fast and efficient because we know you have better places to be than a drive-thru or a pharmacy lobby. You have family dinners to attend, bleachers to root from, errands to run, and memories to make.

But "fast" doesn't mean "rushed." To us, efficiency isn't just about filling a bottle.
It’s about making sure we have the time that matters most:

🕐 The time to answer your questions thoroughly.

👩🏻‍⚕️The time to ensure your care is never compromised.

🫶The time to greet you by name and treat you like a neighbor, not a number.

We’ve cut out the wait, so we can focus on the care. Stop by and experience The West Side Way and see the difference a community-first pharmacy makes.

At West Side Pharmacy, we’re doing our part to keep our community green. From Derek’s "patrols" to our daily recycling habits, we want to lead by example.

Watch as Isabelle Reaves and Derek Lipe talk about our sustainability goals and why we want you to join us in making every day Earth Day. 🌿

(And yes, the bloopers at the end are 100% necessary.)

Happy Earth Day from the whole team at West Side Pharmacy! 🧤♻️

Kicking off Third Thursday the best way we know how 💛

With YOU.

Good people, warm smiles, and a whole lot of community.

Thank you for showing up, supporting local, and making it so special.

It’s not just about convenience. It’s about connection.

Your pharmacist is one of the most accessible members of your healthcare team.

At West Side Pharmacy, that access comes with compassion, trust, and real relationships.

Care shouldn't be rushed, it should be personal.

We take the time to know your name, your story, and what matters most to you.
Because being the most accessible part of your healthcare team means being there when you need us most.

That’s The West Side Way. 💙

At West Side Pharmacy, care isn’t just what we do... it’s who we are.

We believe your time matters. Your story matters. You matter.

We’re proud to serve a community that trusts us with what matters most.

From busy families to the veterans who’ve given so much for all of us... we don’t take that responsibility lightly.

Every prescription, every conversation, every moment…
It’s another chance to go above and beyond.

Because care should always feel personal.

This is more than a pharmacy.
This is community.

The West Side Way. 🇺🇸

TRICARE

I just want to sit down with my brother, share a bowl of cheese dip, and have a beer.

Instead, he’s hundreds—sometimes thousands—of miles away serving this country.

Captain Bryan David Torres is one of our many “why’s” behind accepting TRICARE.

No matter where you fall politically, we can all agree on this:
Our active duty military and veterans deserve the best care—not second-rate healthcare delivered through a mailbox.

At West Side Pharmacy, we believe care should be personal. It should be local. It should come from a pharmacist who knows your name—not a call center rotating voices.

Now that we’re in-network with TRICARE, we see the numbers clearly.
And what we’ve found should concern every taxpayer.

In just two months, we’ve seen that Express Scripts is paying itself 25% more than what pharmacies like ours receive to care for these same patients.

This isn’t about West Side.
This is about a system that:

• Pays local pharmacies below cost
• Restricts patient access
• Pushes veterans toward mail order
• And quietly bills the government more in the process

That’s not efficiency. That’s a broken model.

And it’s exactly why many pharmacies won’t participate—leaving veterans with fewer choices and worse access.

Meanwhile, our service members are left navigating a system where:

No relationship exists
No continuity of care exists
And convenience is prioritized over quality

That should infuriate every American.

The good news—there’s movement.

Tom Cotton and Tim Kaine recently introduced the ACCESS Act to restore fairness, access, and transparency in the TRICARE pharmacy system.

We need your help.

If you believe our veterans deserve better:
• Share this post
• Reach out to Senator Cotton
• Encourage Arkansas legislators to continue pushing back against PBM abuse

Because this isn’t just policy.

It’s personal.

And one day, I’d like to trade all of this for that bowl of cheese dip and a beer with my brother.

Some places fill prescriptions.

At West Side Pharmacy… we take care of people.

It’s the quick smile at the counter.
The friendly voice in the drive-thru.
The team moving with purpose behind the scenes to make sure no one waits longer than they have to.

Because we know something important:

Every minute you spend waiting on medicine…
is a minute you could be spending with your family.
A minute getting back to work.
A minute living your life.

So we work fast.

Not to rush you out the door, but to give you more time for the moments that matter most.

This community means everything to us.
And serving you is more than our job.

It’s The West Side Way. 💙

The “West Side Way” a slogan founded on today.

The “way” is Christ’s Way.

A perfect savior who died and rose again for all of our sins so we could have eternal life.

We’re not perfect, no one is, and as much as we love telling you about medicines we’d much rather tell you about the Love of Jesus! So next time you’re in and you wanna know about the powerful redeeming perfect love ask a team member!

Luke 24
John 11
Matthew 22

He is Risen! Happy Easter!

When Luther Gossage talks about our new compounding lab, he isn’t just talking about equipment and counters... he’s talking about people.

We see the gaps in modern medicine, and we hear the calls from providers and patients searching for solutions that just don’t exist on a standard shelf. That’s why we’re doing this. We’re currently in the heart of the journey, taking every necessary step and ensuring every standard is met... because your health deserves nothing less than perfection. 🧪✨

We're building this for you, Arkansas. A more personal kind of healing is coming to West Side.

What does community-first pharmacy mean to you?
