Not many pharmacists can say “pharmacy is in my blood”, but the Dreier family can. The city of Shawano, Wisconsin, and the surrounding community has counted on Dreier Health Mart Pharmacy Gift Shoppe & Boutique for two generations, and soon to be three generations. Started by their late father, Donald Dreier, RPh, and their mom Jana, Tim Dreier, RPh, and his sister Jessica Dreier-Huntington, RPH, endeavor to build upon their father’s legacy.
“We strive day in and day out to do something worth being proud of ourselves, and we feel that we are exactly the type of pharmacy that Health Mart would want to represent their brand,” said Avery Dreier, Tim’s daughter, pharmacy student and the next generation of Dreier Pharmacy pharmacists.
Their independent pharmacy peers felt the same way and voted for Dreier Pharmacy to win the honor of 2024 Health Mart Pharmacy of the Year.
“There are many pharmacies here, especially my fellow finalists, who deserve this award…Thank you, everybody,” Tim said while accepting the award during the Final Night Party at McKesson ideaShare. “My father is not here anymore, but he’s got a big smile on his face tonight.”
The Dreiers have served in their building longer than the hospital has been in town, longer than all the clinics, and they plan to still be there when all those health care facilities change ownership or leave town.
