The Foundation
Rocky Mountain Pharmacy was founded in January 2020 with a convenient location adjacent to Rocky Mountain Diabetes Center. The pharmacy was formed in a unified effort to provide a full-service pharmacy that is more convenient for the patients of Rocky Mountain Diabetes. It was also created to provide the unique specialization for patients who are managing any form of diabetes. The result is a pharmacy in Idaho Falls that is dedicated to helping all patients from any healthcare provider with all their pharmacy needs but with a distinctive specialization of diabetes related medication, continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) systems and pump supplies.
