Long Term Health Care Services
New advancements in medicine and technology have greatly increased the life expectancy of people in the United States. As far back as 1982 Kinney Drugs foresaw the need to provide specialized care for this important and rapidly growing segment of our population. The Nursing Home Services division of our retail drugstore chain has grown rapidly since those early days, and Kinney Drugs Long Term Health Care now serves over 2000 beds in Upstate New York and Vermont.
