“Every day we get up to conquer another eventful day filled with sick patients, and do our best to accommodate them as much as possible. Limited doctors available, insurance company’s unpaid claims, lack of a speedy pharmacy experience is one which has been unseen for two months now. Yet, I can’t imagine not being there for our patients. 

We are inside a major retail store which has followed their restrictions and yet the social distancing to stay home is not in everyone’s mind. Our biggest concern is trying to protect the patients as the virus spreads and the risks get higher. 

I have a fiance with cancer, I follow every safety precaution and choose to remain at my job for our patients. We have protected our employees from the store front of people shopping and have done a pretty good job at protecting ourselves to stay healthy to continue to serve the ones who need us. To have that one patient so desperate to see your face and to help them is more of my reward and gives me the strength to go every day. Your mental and physical exhaustion become a past experience every night, until your new day begins again.

I have stepped up to help our fellow chain stores while their employees recover from quarantine. No matter what it takes, we do what we have to do. One smile makes a lifetime of memories. Stay safe!!”
