years of professional experience
Have been a Pharmacy Manager for 43 years at the same location- only the management changed. Customer service and loyalty were my personal goal. I had the privilege of servicing 4 generations of 2 families. Safety and care about each patient was the top priority. The friendships and love from my customers were the most incredible reward.
