About Paulsen’s Pharmacy
Paulsen’s Pharmacy is an independent community pharmacy serving Portland, Oregon. The pharmacy has been part of Portland’s Hollywood District since 1918, and its history spans changes in neighborhood life, pharmacy practice and the services expected from a modern community pharmacy.
Today, the website brings together practical pharmacy-service information with a curated medication-information reference section. This About section provides the business context behind those resources: the pharmacy’s mission, history, team and employment information. Current prescription and pharmacy-service questions belong with the service and contact areas of the site.
The Medication Information section has a separate reference role. It helps readers research medicines, manufacturers, product identity, dosage forms, strengths and market-specific information. Reference content should not be read as a statement that a particular product is currently stocked or available through Paulsen’s Pharmacy.
Our Mission
Paulsen’s Pharmacy describes its mission in terms of dependable community pharmacy service, empathy, accuracy, clear communication and respect for the people who rely on the pharmacy for medication support. The pharmacy also emphasizes the importance of recognizing when a question belongs with a prescriber or another member of the care team.
Read more about those priorities and the pharmacy’s approach to ongoing medication needs on the Our Mission page.
