BEDFORD– Crowder’s Pharmacy celebrated the grand opening of its new dedicated department, “The Brace Zone,” on Friday, April 25th. The event showcased a wide selection of high-quality medical braces and therapeutic supports from OTC Professional Orthopaedics, a respected U.S.-based, family-owned company with over 120 years of history. Crowder’s Pharmacy is now Bedford’s exclusive local retailer for these premium products, offering the largest selection in southern Indiana, catering to youth through adult 3XL sizes.

The Brace Zone features braces and supports for various needs, including knee, ankle, wrist, hand, elbow, shoulder, cervical, lumbar, rib, and abdominal areas. Brace specialist Carol Harris is available on-site to provide personalized fitting services, ensuring optimal pain relief, recovery, and injury prevention support. The department also offers OTC’s 360° Hot/Cold Gel Compression Packs for versatile relief and faster healing.
The grand opening event was a community affair, featuring a live radio broadcast from WQRK 105.5 – Southern Indiana’s Classic Hits, free food grilled by Jay Fox of Indiana Farm Bureau Insurance, music, giveaways, and a dunk tank fundraiser honoring Crowder’s delivery driver Brad Love’s 60th birthday. Proceeds from the dunk tank were donated to the White River Humane Society, underscoring Crowder’s commitment to local causes.
