PIMA – If you haven’t been yet, now is the time to get to know your hometown pharmacy and healthcare provider.
Palo Verde Health Services, owned and operated by pharmacist Brian Paull and his wife, family nurse practitioner Angela Paull, is having a grand opening celebration on Tuesday, Feb. 22, from 11 a.m. – 2 p.m.
During the grand opening, the public is invited to tour the facility and enjoy the festivities, including free food. Additionally, there will be a raffle with a grand prize of a Traeger smoker grill.
Palo Verde Health Services encompasses the Palo Verde Pharmacy and its on-site clinic.
The clinic is designed for same-day appointments, acute-care visits, and walk-in patients for those people who are unable to see their primary-care doctor or if they do not have one.
“We truly believe that people should be treated with care, compassion, and kindness,” Angela Paull said. “We treat everybody as they are family. We are here to serve you.”
The sentiment is echoed by her husband, Brian Paull.
“We started the pharmacy here in Pima to bring a hometown pharmacy back to Pima,” Brian Paull said.
Brian Paull is a compounding pharmacist, which entails making prescription medications to suit from the raw ingredients.
“That helps leave out some of the ingredients that people are allergic to, such as dyes or additional fillers that aren’t compatible in somebody’s body,” he said.
Palo Verde Pharmacy offers free prescription delivery to Pima and the surrounding communities and also offers curbside pickup. Simply call when you arrive at the store and one of the pharmacy associates will assist you from the safety and convenience of your vehicle if you prefer.
At its renovated location at 18 W. Center Street, Palo Verde Pharmacy also offers a wide variety of over-the-counter medications and vitamins commonly found in pharmacies or drug stores. There is also a variety of braces for knee and ankle support.
The store also has a front waiting room and a private consultation room for privacy consults between patient and pharmacist. The pharmacy also offers medication flavoring to change unpleasant pharmaceutical ingredients into something more palatable and immunizations for everyone, including seasonal flu shots.
So, come on down to the grand opening of Palo Verde Health Services at 18 W. Center St. in Pima on Tuesday, Feb. 22, from 11 a.m. – 2 p.m., and see the place for yourself.
