A new addition onto LECOM’s Rural Health Clinic of Wattsburg is bringing even more care to families in the area.
LECOM held a ribbon cutting to officially open the fourth Colonial Family Pharmacy location off of Wattsburg Road, an addition built off of the health clinic.

The facility gives local families better access to medications and other necessities for health.
Organizers said that access to care is what drives the project, keeping trips to the pharmacy quick, convenient and safe for nearby patients.
“They no longer have to drive from Wattsburg, Greene Township, into the City of Erie or even to Harborcreek to pick up their medications. This provides a convenient access location where they can get the drugs that they need,” said COO of LECOM’s medical center Marcus Babiak.
Organizers hope the pharmacy serves families by providing what they need, all just a short drive away.
