Proudly Serving: Sobeys Pharmacy #7271 Belfield Long Term Care, Windsor, ON

Position: Pharmacist

Core Value: Stay Real

Ashley is passionate about the well-being of her patients and fellow employees and her attitude and enthusiasm are infectious. “The best part of my job is getting up in the morning and going to the nursing home to do rounds with the physician,” says Ashley, who spends time both at long-term care facilities and at the pharmacy. Ashley is always ready to help co-workers with health-related questions. At a recent event at the Tahoe office in support of World Diabetes Day, an employee approached Ashley with concerns. Ashley helped him complete a CANRisk Questionnaire to identify his risk of diabetes and when the score indicated his risk was high, Ashley tested his blood sugar, which also was high. “I didn’t want to scare him, but I gave him some test strips to take home and I encouraged him to follow up with his family physician,” says Ashley. Being able to help co-workers and patients is very rewarding, says Ashley. “We are their partners in terms of health care.”
