Compounding: It’s Personal

Personalized medicine is the future of healthcare; it allows our pharmacy to be an integral part of a person’s wellness journey.

Compounding and PCCA

I have always enjoyed problem solving and like to tackle different challenges every day. That’s why I became a compounding pharmacist. Compounding allows you to pull together the nuances of patient care and pharmacy to create a customized treatment solution for an individual patient.

I value being a PCCA member because of the support I receive and the network of pharmacists who are members. PCCA members treat each other like family and are always willing to go out of their way to help each other. And the entire PCCA team is on another level in terms of support for their members.

The Role of Compounders in Health Care

Compounders today are the problem solvers, from medication shortages to customized solutions.

Her doctor now refers all of her hard-to-treat patients to us.

My profession as a compounding pharmacist allows me to enjoy going to work every day.
