Boulder Creek Pharmacy: The Independent That Delivers
Boulder Creek Pharmacy is the independent at 13081 Central Avenue, and the single most useful thing about it is that it delivers prescriptions for free. That matters here more than it would down the hill. When a car is in the shop or Highway 9 is a mess, the medication still arrives.
What it does
It's locally owned and family operated, and it describes itself as serving the town for over 40 years.
Beyond filling and transferring prescriptions, the pharmacy handles medication synchronization, which lines your refills up so they all come due on one visit, and multi-dose blister packaging, which is the service it says it specializes in. It also does medication therapy management, medication adherence support, Medicare open enrollment help, and consultations by appointment. There's a free app for refills and reminders.
The front of the store is a real store. Over-the-counter basics, first aid, vitamins, infant care, sunscreen, and school and office supplies, plus a gift boutique with greeting cards, home decor, candles, kids' toys, and seasonal merchandise. It's a reasonable place to solve a birthday card and a prescription in one stop.
Delivery, hours, and the Rite Aid question
Free delivery runs throughout the San Lorenzo Valley. The pharmacy's own site also posts a banner welcoming former Rite Aid patients and naming free delivery to Felton and Scotts Valley, so if the closure moved your prescriptions, this is the local answer.
