Our Story

Welcome to ISU Bengal Pharmacy, a leader in pharmacy services, for Idaho State University and beyond. Established with a commitment to excellence, we serve the dual purpose of providing top-notch pharmaceutical care and advancing the education of future healthcare professionals. 

Mission

At ISU Bengal Pharmacy, our mission is to SERVE our communities with compassionate and comprehensive healthcare, TRANSFORM the landscape of pharmaceutical care through innovation and education, and to INSPIRE the next generation of healthcare professionals to achieve excellence in their field. 

History 

ISU Bengal Pharmacy became the first licensed telepharmacy in the state of Idaho in 2013. This pioneering initiative allows pharmacists from Idaho State University L.S. Skaggs College of Pharmacy to provide rural communities across Idaho with access to prescription and over-the-counter medications. Utilizing the latest technology, our pharmacists can remotely supervise technicians at various sites, ensuring the highest standards of safety and care. All our pharmacists hold advanced doctorate degrees in pharmacy, bringing a wealth of knowledge and expertise to every patient interaction.
