Small Fire Contained to One Room at Harwood Manor

A small fire broke out on the first floor of Harwood Manor in Lebanon about 5 p.m. on June 24, 2025. Crews contained the blaze to a single room and extinguished it quickly.

One resident was transported by ambulance with facial injuries sustained during a fall, and three to four others were treated for smoke inhalation. There is no word yet on the extent of property damage.

All residents were safely returned to the building by the end of the evening.

A New Name. The Same Commitment.

We’ve made a small change—our Lebanon location is now proudly called Noble Drug of Lebanon.

This update reflects something bigger: growth. By expanding our compounding services to Camdenton, we’ve made room to serve you more efficiently—at both locations.

Here in Lebanon, your pharmacy team hasn’t changed. Your care hasn’t changed. What’s changed is our ability to focus even more on what matters most: you.

We’re proud of where we’re headed. And we’re grateful to have you with us.

We feel very fortunate, more than we deserve.
