An Independent pharmacy with a caring approach to providing a variety of pharmaceuticals, healthcare products and services to help and improve the lives of patients throughout Northeast Florida.

Halliday’s and Koivisto’s Pharmacy, located near Memorial Hospital in Jacksonville, Florida, is a full-service, independent pharmacy. Owned and operated by pharmacist Jim Koivisto, the pharmacy has been serving the community for over 50 years. After providing traditional pharmacy products and services, Halliday’s started adding additional product lines and services for their customers. It began when customers started asking for assistance with custom fitting for both compression garments and mastectomy products. The pharmacy also added extensive lines of medical equipment, and the compounding became a popular service not only for customers, but also for their pets. Halliday’s and Koivisto’s has always been on the leading edge in providing customers the best in pharmaceutical healthcare services.

Halliday’s Healthcare Products is a division of Halliday’s & Koivisto’s Pharmacy, located near Memorial Hospital in Jacksonville, Florida. Our Healthcare Division was created 25 years ago when patients started requesting assistance with custom fittings for both compression garments and mastectomy products.

Patients suffering from diabetes, lymphedema, varicose veins or those who have had breast cancer, and have had either a lumpectomy or mastectomy, experience first hand the care and privacy of Halliday’s in a private fitting room by certified fitter, Carolyn Bass, Director of Halliday’s Healthcare Division.

Our full-service, independent pharmacy is owned and operated by pharmacist Jim Koivisto. Active in his profession and the community, Jim is past president of the Florida Pharmacy Association and past president of the Rotary Club of North Jacksonville.

Selecting a pharmacist for your family’s medication needs is as important as choosing any professional service. You should ask several questions to help you make the best choice.

• • Does the pharmacist show any interest in your medication needs?
  • Is the pharmacist willing to take the time to talk to you and answer your questions?
  • Is 24-hour prescription service available?

If the answer to any of these questions is “no,” then you may not have the best pharmacist for your needs. Halliday’s & Koivisto’s takes pride in the fact that we give complete services and individual attention to all of our customers, including quality medications and offering a full range of medical accessories.

At Halliday’s & Koivisto’s our goal is to provide medical products that can make our customer’s lives more comfortable and that will bring dignity and ease through the use of any medical support they need. In order to achieve this we sell a complete offering of orthopedic and sports medicine products as well as compression hosiery and foot care products. While we have a large inventory of medical products in stock, we will be glad to special order an item if we do not stock it.

We sell nationally known brands for uses that include…

• • Bathroom safety
  • Mobility aids (wheelchairs, crutches, etc.)
  • Medication organizers
  • Enablers and aids to daily living
  • Personal care products
  • In home and patient room equipment

Physicians may prescribe an individually compounded medication for a patient. This allows the physician to tailor a prescription to each individual. At Halliday’s & Koivisto’s, we have on-site compounding capabilities. At our facility, we can develop compounding preparations for:

• • Patients requiring limited dosage strengths, such as a very small dose for infants;
  • Patients requiring a different formulation, such as turning a pill into a liquid or transdermal gel for people who can’t swallow pills due to disability;
  • Patients who absorb or excrete medications abnormally;
  • Patients who need drugs that have been discontinued by pharmaceutical manufacturers because of infrequent use;
  • Children who want flavored additives in liquid drugs, usually so that the medication tastes like candy or fruit;
  • And at Halliday’s & Koivisto’s, we do customized compounding for veterinary medicine.

Halliday’s & Koivisto’s Pharmacy offers a full range of vitamins and nutritional supplements. We carry various brands of vitamins, minerals, essential fatty acids, homeopathic remedies, herbs, green products and an extensive selection of natural children’s vitamins. Some of our more popular brands are Sundown Naturals and Nature’s Blend.

Like the old drug stores of the past, you’ll find a variety of items that make you feel welcomed. From a selection of candy bars and sodas to racks of greeting cards, Halliday’s and Koivisto’s offer a friendly atmosphere, just like the service.
