My Story…
I’m so proud to work as a pharmacist alongside PHS to support the marginalized DTES community. Getting to know and provide care for many of these patients at the clinic has been an amazing experience and I continue to be inspired by the dedication of the PHS team. Thank you for the support and donations that help fund our work!
