Harmony Pharmacy & Health Center Revolutionizes Retail Drugstore Experience

Posted on: Wednesday, 21 March 2007, 06:01 CDT

A new revolutionary pharmacy concept opened its doors at Newark Liberty International Airport. The first retail pharmacy at Newark Liberty, Harmony Pharmacy is transforming the way today's on-the-go traveler can seek healthcare and shop in an elegant and service-oriented environment.

Conveniently located in Terminal C at Newark Liberty International Airport, Harmony Pharmacy will redefine America's retail drugstore shopping experience. From dispensing prescriptions to offering access to an on-site nurse practitioner to providing an exceptional shopping experience, Harmony Pharmacy is bringing together the best aspects of a traditional European pharmacy coupled with a service focused staff to reach today's busy traveler. In addition, Harmony Pharmacy will offer a broad array of preventative assistance and screening services, such as flu shots, vaccinations and examinations.

More Americans Traveling

More than 650 million people traveled on US flights in 2006 and according to Westfield Concession Management Company, Newark Liberty International Airport's Terminal C alone will see approximately 24 million people pass through its concourses in 2007.

"We are so excited to introduce this unique retail experience. With the growing number of business travelers spending more time away from home, we are filling an important void for both prescription services and healthcare," stated Kenneth M. Corroon, Co-Founder and CEO of Harmony Pharmacy & Health Center. "Healthcare doesn't stop just because you're on the road and we are providing travelers with a destination to meet their needs in a personalized caring environment."

Harmony Pharmacy also targets a unique customer niche whose needs have been complicated by the latest airport security restrictions banning certain products such as toiletries and other kinds of liquids.

The Harmony Pharmacy & Health Center business model was conceptualized in 2005 by Kenneth M. Corroon and Howard M. Hertz, M.D. Mr. Corroon has a strong business background and Dr. Hertz provides medical expertise as the owner and operator of one of the largest privately held medical centers on Long Island, New York. Together they have developed this entirely new approach to personal healthcare, prescription services and a refreshing retail shopping experience that represents a unique opportunity to fulfill the needs of air travelers and airport employees.

The Newark Liberty International Airport location will be the flagship location for Harmony Pharmacy & Health Center. The center will be open 365 days a year. The company plans to expand beyond its flagship in the coming months, taking this exclusive concept to not only other airport locations but to non-airport communities as well.
