Our Story

A Hollywood Pharmacy That Cares

Founded in 2003 with a simple mission: to bring back the personal, human pharmacy experience to Hollywood — and keep it going.

Roseanne Papoyan, PharmD

Roseanne is the heart of Vine Discount Pharmacy. For more than two decades, she's been the trusted pharmacist for thousands of Hollywood families — answering questions, catching drug interactions, and making sure every patient leaves with a clear understanding of their medications.

Doctor of Pharmacy by training, neighbor by choice. She'll take the time to actually talk with you — about your prescriptions, your concerns, your insurance options. That's the kind of care chain pharmacies don't have time for.

“I am doing what I truly care about: helping people be well.”
— Roseanne Papoyan, PharmD

Our Founding Vision

Vine Discount Pharmacy & Medical Supply was born from a belief that healthcare — at its core — is personal. By the time we opened on North Vine Street in 2003, chain pharmacies had taken over most of Los Angeles. They were fast, sure. But impersonal.

We wanted to do something different. We wanted to build a pharmacy where the pharmacist knows your name, remembers your family, and has five minutes to actually talk to you about your health. Where you're greeted warmly, served honestly, and treated with the dignity you deserve.

More than two decades later, that hasn't changed. We're still here at the corner of Vine and Fountain, serving our Hollywood neighborhood — East Hollywood, Little Armenia, Thai Town, and beyond. We still know our regulars by name. We still fill prescriptions in about 10 minutes. We still offer free consultations to anyone who needs them.

As a member of the Good Neighbor Pharmacy® network, we combine the resources and buying power of a national network with the heart of a locally owned and operated business. Our patients get the best of both worlds.

Our Four Commitments

Caring

We treat every patient as an individual. We take the time to understand your health needs, your concerns, and your life.

Honest

We tell you the truth about your medications, your options, and your costs — including when a generic can save you money.

Respectful

Every patient deserves dignity and privacy. We listen, we don't rush you, and we never make you feel like just a number.

Friendly

A warm greeting goes a long way. We want you to feel at home when you walk through our door.
