The City of The Dalles is piloting a new prescription medication delivery program for the City’s medically vulnerable population.  Anyone who is 65 years-old or older, or who has any serious underlying medical condition that would put them at higher risk of severe illness due to COVID-19, can contact The Dalles Police Department to arrange for prescription delivery to private residences within The Dalles city limits.  Bi-Mart, Walgreens, Safeway and Fred Meyer have agreed to participate with this program.  To request prescription delivery services, call the Police Department at 541-296-2613 between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. weekdays.  Before calling the police department, contact the pharmacy to order and pre-pay for the prescription over the phone, and advise the pharmacy a police officer will pick up the prescription in a marked vehicle and uniform.  Have a valid identification document available when the officer delivers the medication.  Officers delivering prescriptions will be in uniform and operating a marked police vehicle, wearing proper personal protective equipment, and maintaining social distancing requirements at all times.  Please allow 24 hours from the time the prescription is ready to be pick up, to when the officer will deliver the medication.
