Trinity Health pharmacy opens on Eastern Michigan University campus

Trinity Health Michigan held an opening ceremony for a new on-campus pharmacy Monday, Nov. 17, 2025. The new pharmacy is located inside the campus Trinity Health Urgent Care building in Suite 600 at 1065 N. Huron River Drive, Ypsilanti.

From 2019 to March 2024, the Eastern Michigan University Campus Medical Pharmacy operated in the same location. Due to operational issues, Campus Medical Pharmacy announced its temporary closure in March of last year, and it never reopened.

Trinity Health operates both a primary care and an urgent care clinic within the same building, and Trinity decided to expand to a pharmacy as well. This new pharmacy is a branch of the Trinity Health Hospital system in Ypsilanti.

All three staff members at the pharmacy have come from other Trinity Health locations. Megan Tabersis, Pharm.D., is the primary pharmacist at the location, and she was hired at Trinity Health in January. Certified pharmacy technicians Christine Kee and Elizabeth Yurkunas have been working with Trinity Health for two and 15 years, respectively.

“This pharmacy is open to everyone," Yurkunas said. "We are a community pharmacy and a preferred pharmacy for those with Trinity Health insurance, EMU staff and student insurances, and we take Medicare and Medicaid."

While the pharmacy primarily serves to deliver medication to patients, they also offer a wide variety of snacks, over-the-counter medications and toiletries.

“Soon, probably early 2026, we are going to have a delivery service and vaccines too," Tabersis told The Echo. 

The pharmacy will provide students with a convenient on-campus location to receive vaccinations and maintain their health.

The EMU campus Trinity Health Pharmacy also offers many options for those who may have trouble affording medication.

"We have an in-house discount plan … it is similar to GoodRx. You can apply it towards medications that may not be covered by insurance,” Tabersis said.

This can be a useful program for students who have out-of-state insurance or other complications.

The pharmacy is also a location for Dispensary of Hope, a nonprofit organization that works to provide medications to uninsured, low-income patients.

“It includes one medication in every drug class, including inhalers and insulin,” Yurkunas said.

Patients eligible for Dispensary of Hope are those who are at or below 300% of Federal Poverty Guidelines and either lack insurance or only have a plan that is commercial and does not cover prescriptions. Visit the pharmacy for more information and eligibility requirements.

Students whose primary pharmacy is not in Ypsilanti can have their prescriptions sent to the new campus pharmacy.

“They can have their doctor send in their prescriptions, and we can transfer them if needed. If you have refills remaining, just give us a call, and we can contact your current pharmacy,” Yurkunas said.

Trinity Health Pharmacy - EMU Campus is open 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday through Friday each week. For more information, visit the location, call 734-712-6100, or visit the "Trinity Health Pharmacy - EMU Campus" page on the Trinity Health Pharmacy website.
