Unfortunately, I’m from the Altoona area and can’t be of service for you. I would typically suggest checking out independent pharmacies or grocery store pharmacies. You’ll tend to get better service there.

I’ve complained to my state rep and senator about this because my pharmacy is set to lose a large portion of our patients, some of which have been coming to my pharmacy for 20-30 years. The pharmacies they are being sent to have unpredictable hours due to staffing shortages and are known for poor customer service. This was not a decision made by our pharmacy. When we (and other pharmacies) reached out to UPMC to get back in network, they offered a contract where we would get paid less than the cost of the medication for a large number of drugs. Their options are literally lose business because you are no longer preferred or lose money because they won’t even pay for the services we provide.

I took a trip up there a few years back and would love to know who thought that building a road underground with exits that have exits was a great idea. Also encountered a 2 lane roundabout where the lines were merely suggestions - people were driving as if there were 3+ lanes.
