Responsibilities
Canyon Ridge Hospital is currently seeking a compassionate and talented Pharmacist (Contract) to join our team.

Canyon Ridge Hospital has serviced the Greater Inland Empire since 1989. Canyon Ridge is a 157-bed acute, locked psychiatric facility offering services to adolescents ages 13-17, adults and older adults.

In these cases of dual diagnosis, we treat the patients in the best way possible given their specific needs.

This includes managing administrative, pharmaceutical, and professional functions relating to pharmaceutical care provided at the facility
