Hi-School Pharmacy

Hi-School Pharmacy Hi School Pharmacy has a history founded in the tradition of the classic corner drug store. This addition helped achieve the goal of offering one-stop shopping.

The original store, opened in 1925, was named High School Store due to its location across the street from Vancouver High School on Main Street, Vancouver, Washington. Because of its soda fountain and wide selection of candy and school supplies, it became a popular spot with the students. In 1939, two brothers, Ken and Matt Zapp, opened a pharmacy in the old Safeway building adjoining the High Sch

ool Store. This doubled the size of the original store and greatly increased the variety of merchandise offered. More importantly, Hi-School Pharmacy, as it was duly named, became known as the place to have prescriptions filled. In 1948, Val and Dorothy Mowan purchased the Main Street store and over the next twenty years, remodeled and expanded the pharmacy and variety store to 10,000 square feet. In 1967, Steven Oliva, a Registered Pharmacist, bought Hi-School Pharmacy. In addition to filling prescriptions, Steve learned all aspects of the retail business from ordering and pricing merchandise to stocking shelves and advertising. His hard work and competitive nature, coupled with a booming economic environment in Southwest Washington, paid off. In the 1970’s, Hi-School Pharmacy expanded by building new stores, and by acquiring drug stores that had been previously operated by other companies, such as Pay’n Takit and Reder’s. With a strong core group of stores located in Vancouver, the company began to expand in other areas. The chain found its niche by locating in communities with smaller populations. Stores in the chain stretched from Northern California to multiple locations in Oregon and Southwest Washington. In an attempt to satisfy more of the customer’s needs, the 1980’s brought the addition of True Value and Ace Hardware into many of the Hi-School Pharmacy stores. Hi-School Pharmacy/Hardware remains an independently owned and operated company. The phenomenal success that this company has achieved in a relatively short period of time is directly attributable to the high quality, courteous service given the customers by the Hi-School Pharmacy/Hardware team. There is a great pride in what the name “Hi-School Pharmacy/Hardware” stands for in communities throughout the Northwest. It represents caring people, quality merchandise at competitive prices, courteous service and above all customer satisfaction.

Wondering how to transfer your prescriptions to your local Hi-School Pharmacy? With many pharmacy locations closing their doors, we know this can be a stressful time, and we’re here to help make the transition as smooth as possible.

1) Gather the name, dosage, and prescription number of each medication, along with the address and phone number for the pharmacy. If the pharmacy you were set up through has officially closed, you can provide your doctor’s information and phone number to the pharmacist. (Your doctor can electronically send your prescriptions to us directly, and this is typically the fastest route. You can call them to request your prescriptions be sent via fax - Our fax number is 503-650-7855)

2) If you cannot reach your doctor’s office or prefer to talk to us directly, our prescription department’s phone number is 503-656-0306, and we can begin the transfer process. We will need to gather some additional personal and insurance information.

3) After gathering all information needed, our prescription department will submit the transfer and will let you know how long they expect the transfer process to take, given their current workload, staffing, and availability.

Support us and other local pharmacies at the link below - Speak up to your legislators!
As you know, we’ve been proud to serve this community for many years—but like many independent pharmacies across the state, we are in crisis. I'm writing to ask you to support a bill in the Oregon Legislature, HB 3212, that will help us to continue providing essential health services to the West Linn community.

Community pharmacies like ours are disappearing, leaving too many Oregonians without access to vital medications, vaccinations, and health care services. Since 2008, hundreds of Oregon pharmacies have closed, and pharmacy deserts are growing at an alarming rate.

One of the main culprits: Pharmacy Benefit Managers (PBMs) and insurance companies. PBMs are unregulated middlemen that set drug prices. For years, they’ve imposed unfair, “take-it-or-leave-it” contracts that often force us to fill prescriptions at a financial loss. While PBMs are supposed to negotiate better deals for patients, they’ve instead prioritized profits, driving up costs, limiting access to care, and pushing independent pharmacies out of business.
We have a chance to change this. HB 3212 will hold PBMs accountable, ensure fair pharmacy reimbursement, and protect patient choice. Passing this bill will help save Oregon’s community pharmacies, but we need your help.

Here’s how you can support HB 3212:
• The Oregon State Pharmacy Association is working with Hilltop Public Solutions to gather letters of support for the bill. We can provide you with a personalized draft letter and help you submit it to legislators quickly and easily or click the link
https://oregonpharmacy.org/page/PBMadvocacy #/1
• If you have a direct connection to your state representative or senator, please give them a call and let them know you support HB 3212.

Thank you for standing with us and the many Oregonians who depend on community pharmacies. Your support can help protect essential health care access across our state.
