Pyramid Pharmacy Services is a state of the art, full service pharmacy dedicated to providing patients, families and physicians personalized assistance in managing medication usage.

We at Pyramid Pharmacy Services understand how difficult it can be to ensure compliance with medication regimens, especially for individuals with one or more chronic illness. We also understand how costly it can be for both the individual consumer and public and private payers.

As a wholly owned subsidiary of Pyramid Home Health Services, we at Pyramid Pharmacy Services have nearly four decades of experience delivering quality health service to Missourians at home. As Missouri’s largest provider of home and community based services we’ve seen the often negative consequences of uncoordinated pharmacy- avoidable falls, depression, hospitalization, prolonged illness and postponed recuperations.
