Goodbye winter, hello spring! The sun is shining and the weather is warm, which for kids around the country means a return to outdoor sports and long days playing outdoors. While lots of time spent outside typically makes spring a happy time for kids, seasonal allergies can put a damper on those high spirits.

Fortunately for parents, they have their pick of antihistamines they can use to ease kids' allergies. Kids are in luck too - pharmacies can customize the taste of their allergy medicine with a favorite flavor.

In honor of Women's History Month, FLAVORx is celebrating women who make a difference for their patients each day in their local pharmacies. Our pharmacy customers nominated women in pharmacy who they believe deserve to be celebrated, and we are so pleased to have the chance to share their stories. From pharmacists who jump in to help their pharmacy teams work more efficiently, to techs who go the extra mile to help their pediatric patients, each of these women has a huge impact on their patients and coworkers. 

Mount Pleasant, a bustling town nestled in the midst of South Carolina's Low Country, is home to beautiful coastal views and centuries of rich history. It's a great place to visit and even better place to live. While the town has much to offer its residents, Mount Pleasant resident Dr. Cynthia Feldman noticed that there were healthcare needs not being met by the area's existing pharmacies. Seven years ago, she decided to open Sweetgrass Pharmacy with the goal of providing specialized patient care without sacrificing traditional apothecary values. In the years they've been open, Sweetgrass Pharmacy continues to grow, change, and offer patients the absolute best in personalized care.
