Menominee Tribal Clinic closes pharmacy pickup window, remains open inside

Patients who usually use the Menominee Tribal Clinic’s outside pharmacy pickup window had to go inside Thursday as construction and traffic-flow changes closed the drive-up station. Medication pickup stayed available during normal pharmacy hours, but the clinic’s Juneteenth closure on Friday, June 19, narrowed access again and left patients to plan ahead for the weekend.

The clinic said all clinic and pharmacy services will reopen Monday, June 22, at 8 a.m. That makes the inside pharmacy the only pickup option during regular hours until then, a change that matters for patients trying to avoid missed doses, especially those who rely on a quick stop after work or between errands in Keshena, Neopit, Zoar and other parts of Menominee County.

The shift comes as the Menominee Tribal Clinic is already dealing with broader construction work and traffic-pattern changes around the site. Tribal records say renovation of the clinic is intended to add needed space to the pharmacy and other parts of the building, and that wider changes near the clinic are part of a larger facility adjustment rather than a one-day inconvenience. A separate public meeting on the State Highway 55 and County M intersection reconstruction project also described staged construction, single-lane closures and temporary traffic signals, with road work scheduled for 2027, adding another layer of access concerns for people trying to get to the clinic.

The clinic’s pharmacy hours are Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., with a lunch closure from 12:15 p.m. to 12:45 p.m. Patient registration is open Monday through Friday from 7:45 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., and registration closes on federal holidays. The clinic is at W3275 Wolf River Drive, P.O. Box 970, Keshena, Wisconsin 54135, and the main phone number is (715) 799-3361.

For weekends and evenings, the clinic says patients who need medication should call the nurse hotline, which can contact the doctor on call if needed. The clinic also advises patients to pick up medication before weekends or tribal holidays whenever possible to avoid going without medicine, a reminder that carried extra weight as the holiday closure and construction changes overlapped.
