Beyond the chains in every shopping center, Richmond supports a substantial network of independent pharmacies, and they do considerably more than fill prescriptions: blister packing, medication reviews, injections, compounding, home delivery, and consultations in Cantonese and Mandarin that make a real difference to older residents.
The concentration sits around Richmond Hospital and the City Centre medical buildings, with the neighborhood pharmacies at Blundell Centre, Seafair, Terra Nova Village, Ironwood and in Steveston village serving the residential grids. A handful keep extended and Sunday hours, which is the detail worth checking at eight on a holiday evening. Posted hours are on every listing, along with phone and neighborhood.
