As the only pharmacy in town, Dimmitt Pharmacy, part of Castro County Healthcare, provides prescription services, medication guidance, and convenient drive-thru pickup — all close to home.
Below are answers to common questions about transferring, filling, and managing prescriptions locally.
Why should I fill my prescriptions in Dimmitt instead of out of town?
Driving to another town for prescriptions adds time, fuel costs, and unnecessary inconvenience. Filling locally means:
- Faster access to your medications

- Support from someone who knows your provider
- Strengthening local healthcare access
“Access to local healthcare services is essential for our community because ease and convenience ensure better health outcomes. When a patient knows they can get their medications without disruption to their normal day-to-day activities, they don’t put off one of the most important things they can do to stay healthy,” said Elisha Rosier, RN, BSN, CEO of Castro County Healthcare.
