About Us
Vyto’s Pharmacy opened our first store on 169th street in Hammond, Indiana, in 1989.
Since then, with the support of family and friends, the pharmacy has followed Vyto’s vision of providing the community with quality products and superior services at budget friendly costs. In 2007, the second location opened in Highland, Indiana, across from the fire station. The Hammond store relocated to 6949 Kennedy Avenue in 2008, where it continues to serve the Hessville community and beyond. The growth continued in 2013, when the third location opened just north of downtown in Hammond’s Hubert Humphrey Building and, in 2017, when construction of our custom-built facility in the shadow of Ridge Road opened at 8845 Kennedy Avenue in Highland. Our Compounding Lab vacated their smaller space in Hammond for more spacious state-of-the-art quarters in Highland in March of 2021.
Vyto’s Pharmacy continues to serve the pharmaceutical, compounding and medical equipment needs of Lake County, Indiana, and parts of southern Cook County, Illinois. Our delivery service, originally manned by only Vyto and his mother, provides a convenient option for those that don’t drive and many others that cannot make a stop during the day. We currently staff five delivery drivers that cover a wide area to make sure medications and equipment are delivered on time.
Vyto’s is part of American Associated Pharmacies, which allows us to provide medications to our patients at a fraction of the cost. Having joined Professional Compounding Centers of America, our Compounding team ensures that our patients receive the best in compounded medications. Our Durable Medical Equipment department is HQAA accredited. By passing regular audits and inspections, we are able to make sure our customers receive the newest technologies in DME merchandise and that Medicare and Medicaid are billed properly to lower out of pocket expenses.
The staff at Vyto’s Pharmacy is on the cutting edge of pharmaceutical technology and attends pharmacy programs and lectures to continue learning as science changes. While taking care of patients and meeting their needs is what Vyto’s Pharmacy is all about, we also participate in community events and have partnered with groups like Girls on the Run, Humane Indiana and the American Heart Association. Our staff has participated in outreach programs to provide Christmas gifts for children in need, daily care needs for the elderly and more. Celebrating 35 years of meeting patients’ needs, we truly are the neighborhood pharmacy of choice and look forward to serving families, pets and facilities for years to come.
