The Family
Techs, Compounding Techs, Clerks and Drivers
The staff at Hometown Apothecary Drugs truely is a family. More time is spent with each other at the pharmacy than with their families at home. Some have known and worked together in pharmacies for decades, and some are family outside of work. Those who interact with the staff are greeted by a friendly face and a willingness to help. They deal with the customers the most and are a big reason why Hometown Apothecary Drugs has the relationship it does with its customers and patients.
Brandon Antinopoulos
Pharmacy Intern
