Meet our Team
Lisa
Pharmacist
Lisa joined the Northgate Medicine Shoppe family in 2020. Lisa graduated from the U of S with a Bachelor of Science in Pharmacy in 2009. She recently returned to work after being home with her children since 2019.
She and her family moved to Regina in 2019 from Victoria, BC, where Lisa was a Clinical Pharmacist specializing in senior care at long term care homes. She alsoloves working in a compounding pharmacy as she loves creating solutions to problems.
“We work with a lot of patients with unique needs that traditional pharmacy can’t help with. Compounding provides them with additional treatment options to help with their health-related issues. I’ve been employed here since 2020 and it’s the BEST DECISION I have made.”
She loves the small town feel of independent pharmacy. Lisa knows her patients on an individual basis and feels like they are family when they walk through the doors.
“The connection that we make with our patients is really rewarding. They are not
just patients, I consider them family.”
When not working hard and providing for the local community, Lisa loves spending time with her kids and walking her dogs. Make sure you say hello to Lisa the next time you stop by!
