Pharmacist - Wembley, AB

We are a family-focused practice in a vibrant, growing community, with an experienced team of pharmacists, pharmacy technicians and assistants. Our dispensary runs on TELUS Health Kroll with prescription counting and confirmation robotics, so our pharmacists spend their time on patient care, not counting.
