Craig McDermott – Pharmacist
Craig has over 20 years experience working as a community pharmacist. He is thankful for some strong pharmacist mentors when he began his career. His mentors were community-minded pharmacists showed him how to care for patient's medication and home-health care needs as if they were family.
Craig has a particular interest in helping seniors manage the medications they take. Senior-care pharmacists try to limit the number of medications prescribed to seniors. Craig has had experience in New Brunswick and Ontario, working in a number of large & small pharmacies but prefers an independent pharmacy, similar to the store where he had his practical training and 1st job. Family life is important to Craig as he still has 3 children at home - Melissa (16), Kyle and Connor. His older children {Jordan (25) & Gab (17)} are in Ontario; Jordan works as a department store manager and Gab is in College studying Video Game Design. All Craig's children are step-children (Melissa, Gab) or adopted. Kyle & Connor, now 12 & 14, were adopted from South Korea when they were just months old. In Albert County, Craig looks forward to summer camping and walking the trails. Hopefully his wife, Anne-Marie and children will be visiting some weeks. Maybe the boys will try horse-back riding!
