Pharmacies Operations List

The Health Department, in coordination with the Mayor’s Office of Emergency Management, Maryland Department of Health & Mental Hygiene and area pharmacies, has developed the Baltimore Pharmacies Operations List, a list of pharmacies in the area that are closed or operating reduced hours pending further announcement. This list will be updated as new information becomes available. We will keep the list updated until normal operations have resumed.

Individuals in the affected areas who are having difficulty obtaining prescription medication should call 311.

The Baltimore City Health Department will help to locate the nearest open pharmacy and have your prescriptions transferred. For those with transportation concerns or limited mobility, we will assist with alternate options that include obtaining prescriptions through mail delivery or arranging for delivery of prescriptions to our Druid Health Clinic.

Please check back daily for other updates. We at the Health Department are working around the clock to protect vital resources and coordinate with pharmacies and our partners across the city. We are dedicating all efforts to protect the health and well-being of our residents.
