My Story…
I've worked with PHS Community Services Society in both Vancouver and Victoria for the past decade plus. I've seen firsthand the yeoman's work they put in for the community. They routinely house and care for patients that have nowhere else to go. They are a true essential service provider for our province's most vulnerable residents.
I've always wanted to help those in need and working with PHS gave me the opportunity to make a difference where it is needed most. Our pharmacy, Community Apothecary, has been a partner with PHS for the past decade and we couldn't do the work we do without them. They've always been the most collaborative and friendly people to work with. Together we are working to prevent Opioid Overdoses while providing holistic health care to meet all their health care needs.
Please consider supporting PHS so they can do the critical work that is needed.
