The Pharmacist's Role as Service Providers

Walter Wong, PharmD, owner of Green Valley Pharmacy in Rancho Cucamongo, CA speaks to Pharmacy Times about the pharmacist's role in health care.

Walter Wong, PharmD: So at Green Valley Pharmacy I’m a full-time pharmacist. Besides being a pharmacist, I also often am looking for ways to improve our services that we’re providing already, and look for new services to provide. I discuss with my staff on how to handle certain situations and tackle certain problems, and also to build relationships with our local providers and communities to raise more awareness for our pharmacy.
