A Message From Bill November 2018

The old saying goes, “The only constant is change”. One thing I am particularly happy about here at Ozzie’s is that we don’t have very frequent change in our pharmacist staff. Our current pharmacist staff averages almost twenty years of tenure led by Mary who has been with us for 31 years! The record for longest-serving Ozzie pharmacist goes to my Grandfather, Harold Kester. He worked for Oswald’s from 1930 until 1986 – fifty-six years! Great Grandpa, Louis Oswald worked here for forty years. My Dad, Bob Anderson was here thirty-four years. The reason for this little bit of reminiscing is we have added a new pharmacist to our staff for the first time in over a dozen years. And when I say new, I mean new! Hannah, Pharm.D, graduated this year from the Chicago College of Pharmacy, Midwestern University.
