North Hempstead Town Councilwoman Mariann Dalimonte recently visited Salem Drugs, located at 475 Port Washington Boulevard, Unit 8, to recognize and celebrate the pharmacy’s milestone of 40 years in business serving the residents of Port Washington and the surrounding community.
During her visit, Dalimonte presented owner Paul Schimel with a certificate honoring Salem Drugs’ four decades of dedication to personalized customer service, trusted pharmaceutical care, and unwavering commitment to the community. She congratulated Schimel and the Salem Drugs staff on their 40th anniversary and wished them continued success for many years to come.
“For 40 years, Salem Drugs has been far more than a pharmacy, it has been a neighborhood institution,” Dalimonte said. “In an era when many independent businesses have disappeared, Salem Drugs has continued to thrive by providing the kind of personal attention, expertise, and compassionate care that can only come from a locally owned business that truly knows its customers.”
Founded in 1986, Salem Drugs has earned a reputation as a trusted community pharmacy where customers receive individualized attention and support. Under Schimel’s leadership, the pharmacy has remained committed to helping residents navigate their healthcare needs while maintaining the personal relationships that have become its hallmark.
“Paul Schimel and the entire Salem Drugs team have built something special,” Dalimonte added. “Their dedication to serving generations of local families reflects the very best of what small businesses bring to our community. I am proud to recognize this milestone and thank them for four decades of outstanding service.”
