For over sixty years, the people of El Paso, TX have trusted Alameda Thrifty Pharmacy with their health. Not only do they provide a full array of important services, the pharmacy team also treats patients like members of their "phamily." Without a doubt, the Alameda Thrifty staff truly cares for the community they serve. El Paso pride even shines through in the pharmacy's logo which features the mountains that ring the city complete with the El Paso Star. Dr. Laura Quijas, Pharm.D. gave us some insight into how the pharmacy started and how far they've come today.

When FLAVORx first began 25 years ago, we were a small company with a big idea about helping kids take their medicine. We would never be where we are today without the pharmacies that believed in our mission since the very beginning. Apple Discount Drugs, located on Maryland's Eastern Shore, is one of those pharmacies that has been with us since we got started in 1995 and is still one of our valued partners to this day.

We spoke with Marketing Director Tish Withers, who gave us some insight on what makes this local pharmacy so special and what FLAVORx means to their pharmacy. As we celebrate our 25th anniversary, we'd like to take a moment to spotlight this pharmacy that has been with us throughout this journey.

While businesses around the world are closing their doors to prevent the spread of COVID-19, many pharmacies remain open to ensure the public has access to necessary medications. Even though many are working extra hours to keep up with the increased demand and face higher risk of getting sick, pharmacy employees remain dedicated to giving patients the care that they need.

American Pharmacists Month is a time to recognize pharmacists’ contributions to health care and all they can do for their communities. At FLAVORx, we couldn’t think of a better way to celebrate than to spotlight a few pharmacy professionals who go above and beyond for their patients. Throughout the month we’ll take a look at a day in the life of a few healthcare heroes and learn more about the diverse experiences of the hard-working people in the pharmacy industry.
