Adversity is a Catalyst

When we used to think of the future, we’d picture the rise of flying cars and other extravagantly futuristic technologies.

As we continue to fight this pandemic, our host Will Tuft chats with Laura Schwartzwald, owner of GuidePoint Pharmacy, about the latest trends in technology and how pharmacies have been proving their value as a part of public health and as part of a patient's healthcare team.
