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?

The most significant change within our pharmacy has been the addition of our new advanced practice pharmacists Hira Khan (pharmacist-in-charge) and Raana Sidky (staff pharmacist). Owing to their enthusiasm and drive to move the practice of pharmacy forward, our pharmacy has made several changes to expand care to our community, including vaccine clinics, asthma consultations, and diabetes management.

We also take every opportunity to decorate our pharmacy in creative ways and offer fun activities such as raffles and games to keep our staff and customers engaged.

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

Our favorite ways to get involved with our community is by hosting health events and fairs to promote health. We also organize online campaigns to raise awareness of pharmacy-related and social issues. Our staff distributes informational packets about vaccines and other medical topics.
