Pharmacy U people

Be sure entrepreneurship is what you want. Self-employment is a viable option for many pharmacy professionals, which gives a degree of freedom without taking on the risks and uncertainty of entrepreneurship. If it is for you, experiment as much as possible. Everybody’s brand of entrepreneurship is different. It is a form of self-expression you must discover for yourself.

I genuinely believe that there is so much opportunity available to make things better, whether it be inside the pharmacy or outside. It has become how I view the world, and when you identify opportunities for greater improvement, those tend to be the ideas worth pursuing.

Instead of acquiring a store then erasing the name, the legacy and the excellent patient care by changing everything, I believed that there was a huge opportunity to acquire the store and not make the changes. I believed that by keeping everything the same, we cherished what the pharmacist had created and kept the value of what that pharmacy provided to its community.

Allergic rhinitis (AR) is a common condition within pharmacists' purview nationwide. As our understanding evolves, pharmacists must stay abreast of changing clinical guidance and emerging evidence supporting medications that fall within their scope.

There is always a place for the pharmacist as a generalist, as the most accessible health professional. It is an asset when members of any pharmacy team, community or otherwise, take on areas of focus in their learning to support each other.

Success is not only the profit the business makes, but also the difference you make in peoples’ lives. One of our most successful programs is addiction medicine, where we partnered with addiction specialist doctors to provide comprehensive treatment to people with opioid dependence.

One of the most significant challenges that pharmacist entrepreneurs encounter is obtaining buy-in from their team members, particularly within the dynamic and regulated landscape of the healthcare industry.

“…success is how much you contribute to your patient's well-being from all aspects: emotionally, physically, and mentally. This holistic approach will build up long-term success.”

Over the years I have observed increased interest in learning more about topics like gut health and women’s’ health. I am very proud of my colleagues; they have been leaders and very proactive in educating patients and other healthcare professionals in both areas.

I take great pride in knowing that what we have created in Central Fill Solutions is playing a role in helping our client pharmacies become more efficient, which in turn allows them to spend more time focusing on their expanded role within the healthcare delivery system.
