Caring For Community At Hinchinbrook Community Pharmacy

After completing his internship in 2014, Andrew Giliberto jumped at the opportunity to become the owner of Hinchinbrook Community Pharmacy in Halifax, a position he has occupied since April 2015.

Progressing immediately from an internship to pharmacy owner was a big step for Andrew, but
his prior work experience allowed him to move into the new role with ease.

“When I originally took over, I was fresh out of my internship, so it was a bit of a
shock to the system!” said Andrew.

“I had worked here before, so I knew the previous owner and quite a few of the local people
Which made the transition a lot easier.

“I was already familiar with the daily processes and all that kind of stuff.”

Andrew thoroughly enjoys being a pharmacist, and says the best part is having one-
on-one interactions with customers and forming meaningful relationships.

“I get to know my patients a lot better than I would if I were in bigger cities,” said
Andrew.

“It is good to be back in my hometown too and it’s great to be able to give back to the
community in that way.

“I have found that regional towns have a different kind of atmosphere as
opposed to working in cities.”

Whether you’re looking for all your essentials from prescription medications, cold and flu remedies, through to hair and beauty products, and giftware, Hinchinbrook Community Pharmacy has what you need.
