THANK YOU! ā¤ļø
Sometimes in life’s craziest moments, the best thing to do is take a step back and reflect. We’ve been in our new store for 3 weeks already! 😮

In those three weeks we have received flowers, plants, baked goods, cards, and so many kind words and well wishes…it’s really quite overwhelming…and I can’t thank you all enough!! ā¤ļø

Of course, as with any big change though, we’ve also faced some pretty significant challenges. We have had technology issues, and ordering issues…due to new construction address issues. šŸ˜µā€šŸ’« (Who knew?! 🤯) Our team has been adjusting to a new layout, new workflows, and new services….all while doing our very best to deliver the same level of care and service you expect from us.

Yes, it’s fun. Yes, we love our new space. Yes, we love serving our communities. But right now, it is also hard. There are days, especially by the end of the week, when we feel defeated…which brings me back to the original point of this post.

When I take a step back and see how far we’ve come in 3 short weeks, it really puts things into perspective. I am proud, and I am grateful. We are here to take care of our community. I have a team that is doing incredible work to make that happen…and we have a community that continues to lift us up. The rest will work itself out!

From myself and our entire Byrd crew, THANK YOU! ā¤ļø

Happy Pharmacy Technician Day to my favorite pharmacy techs, and some of the very best in the business! šŸŽ‰šŸŽ‰šŸŽ‰

What is the role of a pharmacy tech? They’re problem-solvers, insurance billers, vaccine administrators, team players, and patient advocates. Every day, they juggle a very demanding job with skill, patience, and care. They truly are the heart of Byrd-Watson! ā¤ļø

Our pharmacy techs don’t always get the recognition they deserve, so today (and every day!)….we want to say a huge THANK YOU! We couldn’t do what we do without you! šŸ–¤

We had a full production crew on site today. šŸŽ¬ I would šŸ’Æ rather be behind the camera instead of in front of it, but I am always grateful for the opportunity to tell our Byrd-Watson story. Big thanks to Bradford National Bank for highlighting our business! More to come soon! 🤩

One thing I have learned over the past few weeks/months…moving a pharmacy is NOT for the faint of heart! šŸ˜…

Like any major transition, we have faced our fair share of hiccups…but technology issues like this one have definitely tested my patience.

Huge, huge thanks to Tony from H & H Computers for helping us organize IP addresses, ping the server, establish connections, and all the other tech jargon that I do not understand…but I’m grateful that he does! After two long, frustrating days, he has us back up and fully operational! šŸ™šŸ»

They say every day will get a little easier…I sure hope ā€œtheyā€ know what they’re talking about! šŸ˜‰

And just like that, it’s vaccine season! šŸ’‰

Here’s a quick rundown for this season:

šŸ’‰Flu Shot: Recommended for everyone. We offer the regular dose (under 65) and the high dose (65+).

šŸ’‰Covid-19 Vaccine: The NEW targeted vaccine is here. Available for those 65+ and those who may be at a higher risk, and a regular dose option for adults under 65.

šŸ’‰Capvaxive: This is the NEW Pneumonia vaccine this year. Recommendations vary based on your previous doses…our team can help you review your records and see if it’s a good fit.

šŸ’‰ RSV (Respiratory Syncytial Virus): Available for adults 50+ at risk of severe illness.

Not sure what you’ve had, or what’s available to you? No worries, we can review your vaccine history (even if you didn’t get them at Byrd-Watson), and help you stay up to date!

Stop by anytime. No appointment needed!

This past week has been a whirlwind! Monday, we had a great first day at our brand new store…and on Tuesday, my first grandchild was born. I’m completely overwhelmed in the best possible way! šŸ„¹ā¤ļø

Everyone, meet the newest member of our Byrd-Watson family, Claire Elizabeth! 🩷 She’s absolutely perfect, and we’re completely in love.

It’s hard to put into words the gratitude I’m feeling right now…for this town, for our patients, for my incredible team, for my family, and for this brand new chapter.

My heart is full…and I’m counting every single blessing. ā¤ļø
