History
of
Hieber's Pharmacy
Albert and Ben Hieber originally
opened Hieber's Drug Store in the
Strip District around 1860. The pharmacy moved several times to various
locations on Fifth Avenue, until Frank Stanish bought the
pharmacy in 1945. He brought the store to its present
location on the corner of Fifth and McKee. In 1948,
Ed (Sonny) Kilkeary partnered with Frank Stanish and remained
as the owner of Hieber's Pharmacy until Joe Bettinger
acquired the store in 2000.
Hieber's has a long history of
excellence in compounding and patient care. Some
of our famous firsts are:
|
-
The first pharmacy in
Pittsburgh to make progesterone and boric acid
suppositories
One of
the first pharmacies in the area to dispense the polio
vaccine to neighboring schools in the late 1950's.
Hieber's pharmacists worked directly
with
Dr. Jonas Salk, the original developer of the vaccine,
to dispense the vaccine.
|
Hieber's Pharmacy has always
worked closely with the neighboring hospitals to provide
physicians and patients with quality compounds and medical
supplies. That tradition in excellence continues to this
day under the direction of Joe Bettinger and his talented, knowledgeable
staff. |
