Your job is more than a job.

If you casually drop pharmacy-speak like "SIG codes," "NDC numbers," and "DUR checks" into your everyday conversations, then have we got an opportunity that’s perfect for you.  As a Pharmacy Technician, your mind is a virtual dictionary of medication names, dosages, and potential side effects and that makes you a valuable resource for our patients, caregivers, and healthcare professionals. Providing technical support to pharmacists through medication preparation, delivery of medications, and cart fill exchange, you’re a fact-checker of accountability and accuracy under the direct supervision of the pharmacist who is responsible for the safe and proper distribution and use of drugs for inpatients and outpatients.   

  

Think of yourself as a different kind of healer, dispensing health and wellness, one prescription, one question, and one smile at a time. If you love interacting with people, preparing medications, managing orders, and handling administrative tasks, we think you’ll love it here.  

  

Your experiences, your knowledge, your skills, your empathy, your compassion, your personality, all of it adds up to you. And we’re excited to get to know you and find out what you’ll bring to this pharmacy tech role.
