More Than a Pharmacy — A Promise to Our Community

Every prescription we fill, every home we visit, and every blister pack we prepare reflects one simple belief: healthcare should come from people who know you, understand your needs, and genuinely care.

Story / Mission

Shop & Carry Pharmacy is an independent pharmacy located in the Logan/Fern Rock neighborhood of upper North Philadelphia. It was founded in 2015 by Dr. John Raju and Dr. Jittu George with the mission to serve the underprivileged and under-served in the community.

 

Our goal is to help maximize the benefits pharmacists can provide by maximizing meaningful patient engagement. These personal interactions allow pharmacists to help patients adhere to their medications. Improved adherence leads to improved outcomes, which lead to healthier patients.

 

Shop & Carry Pharmacy provides state-of-the-art, point-of-care pharmacy services to some of the largest facilities, including Pathways to Housing PA. Over the last several years, we have played a crucial role in reducing opioid abuse and related complications — especially through compliance packaging, implementation of Narcan programs, and facilitation of Suboxone and other Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) options.

 

As an independent pharmacy, we’re able to build personal relationships with our patients and spend more time making sure they understand their medications and treatment plans — something a chain pharmacy counter usually can’t offer.

Founded in 2015, to serve the underserved.

Shop & Carry Pharmacy is an independent pharmacy in the Logan/Fern Rock neighborhood of upper North Philadelphia, founded by Dr. John Raju and Dr. Jittu George with a mission to serve the underprivileged and underserved in our community. We believe meaningful patient engagement leads to better medication adherence — and better adherence leads to better outcomes. What started as a single storefront has grown into a full-service pharmacy offering free delivery, home vaccine visits, and adherence support for care facilities across Philadelphia — but the mission hasn’t changed since day one.

Care that walks to your door

Chains can scale. Only a neighborhood pharmacy can care. That’s why HomeVax Direct, free delivery, and no-cost blister packing aren’t side services here they’re the whole point.

01
We remember your name
Not your ticket number. Wolk in once and next time, we already know your meds, your allergies, and probably your kids names too
02
We show up, literally
Free home vaccine visits and no-cost delivery mean care doesn't stop at our front door. If you can't come to us, we come to you.
03
We fight for your adherence
Free blister packing isn't a perk, it's a core beliet, medication only works if it's actually taken. So we make taking it effortless.

Come meet the pharmacy that remembers.

Switching takes minutes — call or email with your prescription details, and we handle the rest.
