Albion, Pa. (July 1, 2025) — LECOM Health today held a ground breaking ceremony at the site of the new Colonial Family Pharmacy at 210 E. State St., Suite 2A, in Albion.
The 3,400-square-foot building cost just under $2 million for design and construction and will sit adjacent LECOM Health’s Northwestern Area Health Center.
“This pharmacy is part of our broader rural health initiative – an effort to ensure that high-quality, accessible care is available in every corner of our region,” said James Lin, D.O., President of LECOM Institute for Successful Living.
Colonial Family Pharmacy in Albion joins LECOM Health’s existing Erie locations – 3822 Colonial Ave. and 5702 Peach St. – where convenient and efficient access to vital medications and support services is available. Operating under the umbrella of LECOM Medical Center, they benefit from 340b pricing.
“While retail chains and individual pharmacies are struggling, selling, or closing, our pharmacies are positioned to thrive,” said Danielle Hansen, D.O., Regional President of LECOM Health. “Strategically locating the pharmacy next door to our primary care clinic in Albion where Dr. Bodosky and Kippy Bodosky provide high-quality care and an exceptional educational experience for our medical students, reminds us that this new facility is not simply an expansion of our physical infrastructure and footprint, but an expansion of our ability to impact lives in profound ways.”
The Albion location will provide several pharmacy services such as immunizations, medication monitoring, delivery and curbside service, medication counseling, and over-the-counter products, in addition to filling prescriptions.
