What has been the most significant change within your pharmacy over the past five years, and how has it helped you serve your patients better?

Over the past five years, the most significant change in our pharmacy has been shifting to focus on patient care rather than dispensing medications. We now focus on patients’ medication adherence and the integration of vaccines into a patient’s total wellness.

What is your favorite thing about being a pharmacist?

My favorite part of being a pharmacist is the interaction with our patients. People who move into the area become friends, and friends become family.

What makes your pharmacy unique?

Our family pharmacy has been a part of the community for more than 55 years, and we are a part of our patients’ families. We offer prescriptions, vaccinations, healthcare advice, complimentary delivery service, and hugs. 

What do you think your patients love most about your pharmacy?

Our patients love that we pick up the phone and speak with them. They can reach out on social media and have their questions answered quickly and easily. They can even text us. We are always available to discuss their healthcare needs.

What are your favorite ways to get involved with your community? 

We love it when we can get out in the community and enjoy an event. We sponsor FilmOne Festival in the summer, a local car show in the fall, a food pantry donation drive in November, and an open house featuring Santa in December.

What does Locally Loved mean to you?

Locally Loved means we are part of the community and the family of our patients. We are happy to be locally loved as we live, work, and play in the same community as our patients.
