Alicia Garcia Afa, PharmD, RPh, a Genoa Healthcare director of pharmacy operations and previous pharmacist who recently helped a consumer navigate a mental health crisis, was featured in Chain Drug Review’s pharmacy profile series highlighting the important role of pharmacists within their communities.
In the article, Alicia shared how she grew up watching her father, who recently retired from pharmacy practice in December 2023, make a positive impact in the lives of others, which inspired her to follow in his footsteps. She also detailed how she makes it a point to build a relationship with every person she serves.
“We’re here to support, to help, to care for our consumers,” said Alicia. “We’re not here to judge or to lecture. I make it clear to my consumers that I will meet them exactly where they’re at, however best I can.”
