March is Pharmacy Appreciation Month, and it’s our chance to celebrate pharmacy professionals across Canada. From personalized care and trusted advice to being a steady presence in the community, pharmacists and pharmacy teams make a real difference every day. Join us in saying thanks this month.
Pharmacy care is more than a quick stop. It’s ongoing support that’s built on trust, compassion, and more accessible ways to care for Canadians. While healthcare services can look different from province to province, pharmacists everywhere are gaining new ways to support patients, with their role continuing to expand. Across all aspects of your health, big or small, your Pharmasave pharmacist is here to help you navigate your health with confidence.
Common ailments are uncomplicated, short-term conditions that don’t require lab tests or blood work and can often be managed with minimal treatment, such as seasonal allergies, cold sores, or urinary tract infections (UTI).
A specialty medication is a prescription drug (often prescribed by specialists) that usually treats a chronic, complex or rare disease, such as autoimmune conditions, chronic bowel diseases, macular degeneration, and cancers.
We help you understand what you are taking and why, manage multiple medications by having them ready for pick up at the same time and get organized by having your medications packaged by day and time.
From the very beginning, there was a consultation where we discussed my health issues and medications, which can be complicated. Stephanie listened to all my concerns and worries. With her knowledge and guidance, I was actually able to cut back on some of the medications I was taking as they were causing more problems than solving. Her knowledge and care for her patients are well above and beyond. When Stephanie is not available, Brooke is always there to answer my questions and concerns, and both of them make me feel like I’m in good hands. So happy to have this team in our small rural community. It is a blessing to be a person and not a number.
Last year, after my son almost died from medical complications, he was put on supplements. Paul went above and beyond helping me navigate the dosage and even called one of the doctors for me when I wasn’t comfortable with the dosage. He always takes time to listen and help with any medications that my kids or I need. He is exceptionally nice and patient. He even makes himself available for after-hours questions.
He always takes the time to answer questions and do what is best for you. I did a med consultation with him in which he assisted both me and my MD to prescribe the right medication for me when the current one was discontinued. He went above and beyond to assist in getting my forms to my MD and off to my benefit company. When I was concerned about taking a certain medication, he was kind enough to ask my reasons and to explain what the medication does and why it’s necessary. It’s changed my life, so I am so grateful for him taking the time, even when the store was so busy. He always greets his customers and makes sure your prescriptions are ready when you need them, even if it means stopping something he is doing, so you are not waiting in the store. He has also given me great advice on over-the-counter products. He is a great pharmacist and makes my experience a pleasant one each time.
I’m nominating this pharmacist because they are more than just someone who fills prescriptions — they are a trusted and reliable part of our community. They remember names, follow up when something doesn’t seem right, and ensure every patient feels heard and supported. Their commitment to personalized care truly sets them apart.
The staff is extremely friendly and always greet you when you enter the store. Staff always ask if you need help finding something or if you’re finding what you need. Been living & visiting this location for over 20 years and nothing has changed here. Thanks for the Wonderful Customer Service at this location. Cheers.
