Blue tips. The Blue Board at
SHHC 8467 in Kitchener, Ont. is a
go-to culture resource for the store
team. Bonus blue: This is the first year
SHHC is participating in the Growing
Women’s Health campaign! Aren’t the
shirts a lovely shade of BLUE?
“Recently, a long-standing member of
my pharmacy team at SDM 328, Sumi
Kim, became worried when a regular,
daily dispense patient had not been into
the store in a couple of days. She tried
calling him a number of times, but was
unable to get a hold of him. Concerned
for his safety, Sumi reached out to
the authorities. Upon arriving at his
home, the police discovered that he had
fallen down and was in need of medical
assistance. He was immediately taken to the hospital for emergency
care. Later, the patient’s brother stopped by our store to express his
gratitude to Sumi. Were it not for her, the patient may have been found
too late. Thank you, Sumi, for the genuine CARE that you demonstrate to
your patients.”
- Nicholas Leong, Associate-owner, SDM 328 & 2469, Edmonton, Alta.
