Since COVID-19 we've all become much more aware of cleanliness in the public places we visit and that includes pharmacies.

I take great pride in knowing that what we have created in Central Fill Solutions is playing a role in helping our client pharmacies become more efficient, which in turn allows them to spend more time focusing on their expanded role within the healthcare delivery system.
