Heidi graduated in 1990 from University of Toronto with a Bachelors of Science in Pharmacy. She is currently a registered pharmacist in Ontario.

After working a short while in Penetanguishene after graduation, Heidi returned to the local area to continue working in community pharmacy. She worked in a number of pharmacies within the area including managing a Big V pharmacy for a short while before the purchase of the pharmacy chain by Shoppers Drug Mart.

Heidi has been thankful to work in the local community where her 3 daughters, who are now teenagers, have gone to school and where her husband works in his third-generation family business. Being involved with her churches’ activities and volunteering at the dance studio which her girls attend are two of the activities that are important to her. Heidi recently had the opportunity to go on a medical mission to Tanzania and on a mission trip to Swaziland. Likely those won’t be the last!

Her focus in pharmacy is to encourage patients’ understanding of their medications with the goals of minimizing negative consequences of medication and maximizing benefits.

Mary has lived and practiced pharmacy in Centre Wellington for almost 22 years. Originally from the Niagara Peninsula, Mary attended the University of Toronto completing a Bachelors of Science in Pharmacy.

She worked at St. Michael’s Hospital for two years providing clinical services to the cardiology and cardiovascular surgery units. She spent the next 6 years working in clinical research and drug information for two pharmaceutical companies.

The move to Centre Wellington gave Mary the opportunity to work in community pharmacy while raising a young family. Many years later, Mary is still enjoying practicing pharmacy expanding her knowledge and skills to keep abreast of changes in the pharmacy profession.

She strives to provide compassionate, professional, and patient-centered care. Her areas of interest include chronic pain management, oncology, palliative care, and minor ailments.

Outside of work Lauren enjoys reading, hiking, and most recently, playing squash.

Cynthia has been proud to call Centre Wellington home for nearly 21 years. Having grown up in a much larger city, she finds a warmth and closeness of community here that she wouldn’t change for the world. She is particularly thrilled to join the Pharmasave team as a result of their local ownership and their commitment to the community. She is excited to bring her 10+ years experience in Pharmacy to the team.

Cynthia, her husband, and 3 children have been heavily involved in minor sports in Centre Wellington for years. As both players and coaches, they have represented Centre Wellington for Lacrosse, Hockey and Ringette.  Cynthia and her family live in Elora and never take for granted the beauty this community offers.

Roxanne’s journey in pharmacy started in high school with a part time job at a busy pharmacy in Brampton.  She enjoys helping people and this guided her towards completing the Humber College Pharmacy Assistant Program where she graduated with Honors. Her path has taken her through jobs in both the retail and hospital pharmacy settings.

Her passion is working with and helping people in her community. She is excited to be part of the team at Elora Apothecary and help to serve our fantastic community.

Her and her husband moved to Fergus 5 years ago from Erin with the future plan to retire here.

Roxanne has 4 children and 5 grandchildren. Next to her family, her other favourite activities outside of work include nurturing friendships, watercolour and acrylic painting, crafts, antiquing, decorating and day tripping to small towns in Ontario. Over the past years the many trips to Elora and Fergus, the love of the area and people here is what led her and her husband to choose our community as their home.
