If you believe you and your loved ones need a pharmacy that gives you more than just selling you medications, but empowers you to make better choices for your health
How Steveston Medicine Shoppe came to be
Steven's journey into the world of pharmacy is not just a career choice; it's deeply rooted in his personal history and aspirations. From the tender years of his childhood, Steven witnessed the harsh realities of poor health choices, as his beloved grandparents battled the ramifications of diabetes, high blood pressure, and arthritis. Their struggle with pain, limited mobility, and frequent medical emergencies left an indelible mark on him, culminating tragically in their passing at the age of 78. Their story became more than just a family narrative; it became Steven's driving force, igniting a passion to make a meaningful difference in the lives of others, particularly seniors like his grandparents, by promoting wellness and quality of life.
Family holds an unwavering significance in Steven's life, and his desire to foster a fulfilling career while nurturing future familial bonds steered him towards the profession of pharmacy. He envisioned a career that not only allowed him to provide care and support to others but also granted him the precious gift of time with his loved ones.
Influenced by his father's entrepreneurial spirit, Steven embarked on a journey of his own, founding his pharmacy business in 2011. It was more than just a professional endeavor; it was a commitment to challenge the status quo of the pharmaceutical industry, often dominated by impersonal corporate entities. With his pharmacy, Steven aimed to infuse a sense of warmth, personalized care, and community connection, ensuring that each interaction went beyond merely dispensing medications but also fostering relationships built on trust and understanding.
Steven's story is one of dedication, fueled by personal experiences and a profound desire to contribute positively to the healthcare landscape. Through his pharmacy, he strives not only to dispense medications but also to offer compassion, guidance, and support to those in need, embodying the essence of care in its truest form.
