Today we’re celebrating the work of Andrea Torres, CPhT, who works at Axtell Pharmacy in Pilot Point, Texas. Torres’s dedication has been vital during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, as the pharmacy has been short staffed.

“Not only is she doing long-term care, but she jumped in to help with our compounding lab,” said Christina Messer, CPhT, a fellow technician at Axtell Pharmacy. “She never stops. Coming in early and staying late is what she does. If it wasn’t for her, I wouldn’t have made it these last 2 weeks.”

Pharmacy Times® wants to celebrate the amazing pharmacy staff members who are on the front lines every day. Nominate someone in your pharmacy by emailing AAntrim@pharmacytimes.com with their name, position, and why they’re a hero!
