Transportation services can provide a ride to and from your appointments for a nominal fee. You may contact them at least one day in advance at 616.395.7075 for further information and specifics.

There is not a pharmacy on-campus. There are several area pharmacies listed under Holland/Zeeland Area Medical Resources. You may ask to have your prescription(s) transferred to the pharmacy of your choice.

You may also choose to use a chain pharmacy that is located in your hometown and Holland. They will be able to access your prescriptions through their computer system. Students without access to transportation tend to choose Meijer Pharmacy or Skip's. Hope College offers free bus shuttles to Meijer weekly and Skip's Pharmacy will deliver medication directly to our Health Center. Students can pick up their prescriptions during normal business hours.
