Evergreen clinic, pharmacy open for another month

Evergreen Packaging Family Pharmacy and Family Medical Center in Canton announced that it has received an extension to stay open through the end of April. 

Evergreen announced in January that it would close the employee clinic and pharmacy at the end of March because of declining use. However, Haywood Regional Medical Center is in discussions with the clinic and pharmacy owners to keep the facilities open. 

The pharmacy is open from 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday through Friday and the clinic is open from 8 a.m. to noon and 1 to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. 

The clinic serves employees of the Evergreen Packaging plant in Canton, employee dependants and mill retirees. When the closing was announced clinic users mounted a public campaign to save it.
