The pharmacy on Main Street

If you live in rural Texas, you already know that your local pharmacist is part of the fabric that holds a town together.

They know who’s been sick, who’s recovering, who just got home from the hospital, and who is trying to make a prescription last a few extra days because money is tight. They answer questions after hours, track down medicine that should’ve already been delivered, and spend a good part of their day solving problems that have nothing to do with counting pills.

In small towns, this happens across a counter where people know your name, know your family, and notice when you haven’t been by in a while.
