Welcome to Browning’s Pharmacy & Health Care, Inc. We are pleased to provide the best possible healthcare to the members of our community.
Since the nature of our business is healthcare, there are some special considerations of which we would like to make you aware of.
We live in a State where hurricanes are a way of life. Hurricane season starts the first of June and continues into November of the same year. What that means is that for 6 months out of each year, we all must be prepared in case a hurricane threatens. Because of the nature of our business, your continued good health is our concern and your needs depend on Browning’s during a hurricane more than ever. For this reason, we would like to help you to be prepared.
Please have on hand, at least one week’s worth of medical supplies to supplement in case of a disaster. Many of these medical supplies are available at Browning’s for purchase.
For our oxygen patients, Browning’s will provide one additional oxygen tank (total of 2 tanks per oxygen patient) for evacuation purposes. This will give a tank for both directions of your trip. These tanks will be available for pick-up from Browning’s only. There will be a $10.00 (dollar) deposit fee for this additional tank. The deposit is refundable only when you return the tank within one week of the “all clear” after the hurricane, regardless of whether the tank is empty or full.
Should your needs require additional tanks above what we can provide for you, Browning’s has oxygen tanks for purchase. Oxygen tanks should be purchased before the start of hurricane season; otherwise oxygen tanks may not be available during the hurricane warning. Privately owned oxygen tanks should be filled at least 48 hours prior to hurricane.
Concentrators should be brought with you when evacuating for electrical hook-up. Please check with Brevard County Emergency Operations Center in the event of going to a shelter if your concentrator is needed. That phone number is 321-633-1770.
During the hurricane watch or warning our delivery service will not be moving or picking up equipment for purpose of evacuation. When renting equipment your responsibility is to safely store the equipment to protect for future use.
During a Hurricane Watch if you’re unsure of your selected shelter destination/option please feel free to contact Brevard County Emergency Office at 321-633-1770.
You can contact Browning’s after normal business hours and on weekends by calling 321-725-6320. Our answering service will take your message and they will contact our on-call staff. We will return your phone call as soon as possible.
