Effective July 15th, Northern Medical Systems assumed responsibility for providing and billing medical equipment to Sid’s Pharmacy customers. They are located in our Bishop Blvd store in our existing medical equipment office, so customers will have the same convenient access as before. In addition, Northern Medical offers a wider variety of medical equipment – including power chairs, hospital beds and oxygen.

Northern Medical Systems owner Tim Holmes has three medical equipment stores. He closed his Colfax branch (formerly Deakin’s) with this move to Pullman and also has branches in Colville and Newport. We’re excited about this partnership and Tim and his staff look forward to serving you.
