Welcome to Health Tips — the place where the Ring’s Pharmacy team shares practical, friendly health advice for Hay River and our neighbours across the South Slave.
This is our small corner of the internet to share the kind of conversations we already have at the counter every day — about staying well, getting the most out of your prescriptions, and navigating the small but mighty decisions that go into looking after yourself and the people you love.
What you can expect
- Seasonal health reminders (cold and flu prep, sunscreen in the long Northern days, winter dryness)
- Plain-language explanations of common medications and what to ask your pharmacist
- Notes about new products on our shelves and how to choose between options
- Updates on store hours, holiday closures, and any new services we add
- The occasional behind-the-counter story
A note on health advice online
Everything you read here is meant to be general information, not a substitute for a real conversation with your pharmacist or doctor. If you have a specific medical question, give us a call at (867) 874-6744 or come in. We’re here every day except Sunday, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Thanks for reading. We’re glad you’re here.
