Pharmacy is a tight-knit community, and I want to ensure everyone feels welcome from day one until graduation.

Sounds like a basic answer, but I would say acetaminophen. A friend/med that is always around and easy to access when you need me. I help people take the edge off when they’re not feeling their best – I can’t get rid of the problem, but I can help you through it!
