Nearby: Victoria, TXLunenburg County residents will soon have another option for filling prescriptions without traveling outside the area as Southern Dominion Health System (SDHS) prepares to open a new community pharmacy later this month. The nonprofit health care organization celebrated the addition of SDHS Community Pharmacy with a ribbon-cutting ceremony Nov. 6 at its new location at 1807 Main St. in Victoria. The pharmacy is intended to address a shortage of local prescription services following the closure of several pharmacies in the area, which has left some residents traveling outside their communities to obtain medications. April King, chief executive officer of Southern Dominion Health System, said the new facility will help address a need for accessible pharmacy services in rural Lunenburg County. “The addition of this pharmacy in Lunenburg County is about improving access to essential services and meeting a demonstrated need in our community,” King said.

Car and motorcycle clubs, emergency medical services personnel and the Victoria Fire Department also participated. For many veterans, the parade was more than an annual celebration. It was an opportunity to reconnect with fellow service members, reflect on their experiences and see the community’s appreciation firsthand.
