Eddie Madden - Founder

Eddie Madden - founded Madden's Pharmacy in November of 1972, about a year and a half after finishing pharmacy school at the University of Georgia. Being an Elbert County native, Eddie began his career of forty two years operating a pharmacy in Elberton. Practicing pharmacy is much more than just dispensing medications. Eddie strived to offer many patient services over the years to our patients. From humble beginnings in a small prescription shop across from the hospital, Madden's more than doubled in size and a Drive-In window was added to more conveniently serve its patients until 1999. When the Medical Center moved to its current location on College Avenue, Eddie decided to build a new and modern pharmacy adjacent to The Medical Center. Eddie considers it an honor to have serve the citizens of Elberton and Elbert County for the past forty two years. He is proud to hand off his business to two outstanding and successful pharmacists, Cindy and Don Piela, who He believes will continue the traditions that he established at Madden's.
