Franwin Pharmacy Mineola Surgical as well as Lafayette Pharmacy provide delivery of your prescriptions to the Adelphi campus at no charge. Prescriptions are delivered Monday through Friday at 6:00 p.m. during the regular academic year and by 4:00 pm during session breaks.

All prescriptions are delivered directly to Adelphi’s Health Services Center and must be picked up within 72 hours by the student, who must show photo ID. The pharmacy will process all medication orders through the student’s health insurance.

The student will then sign for any additional co-pay charges to be billed to their student account.

The billing process may take two to three weeks to show up on the student’s account. The amount billed is expected to be paid in full at that time at the Office of the Cashier in the lower level of Levermore Hall.

If the family’s insurance is restricted to a particular pharmacy, please be sure the student is aware of this and that they share this information with us prior to any prescriptions being delivered.

Outside physicians and medical providers can electronically send prescriptions to our pharmacy and indicate on the prescription to “Deliver to Adelphi.”

Franwin pharmacy phone number is 516.746.4720 and Lafayette pharmacy phone is 516.746.0646. A credit or debit card can be set up with the pharmacy directly for any prescriptions to avoid the student having to sign for co-pays when picking up prescriptions at our office.
