This National Pharmacy Month, we’re celebrating Julie—our dedicated pharmacy manager whose journey with Publix began in 1998 as a cashier at Store 584 in Tampa.

Chad’s Publix journey began in 1998 as a 14-year-old front service clerk. From there, he worked his way through a variety of roles—eventually following his passion for healthcare and joining the pharmacy team as an intern in 2006. After graduating as a pharmacist in 2010, Chad advanced into leadership roles, and today, he proudly serves as a Pharmacy Supervisor in the Miami Division, supporting 37 pharmacies and their teams. “I’ve always been interested in healthcare and wanted to serve my community. The best part of my role is making sure our pharmacies have the tools and support they need to provide excellent care,” said Chad. Outside of work, Chad enjoys time with his wife and daughter, traveling, being near the ocean, and cruising in his 1994 Jeep Wrangler. His motto? “Find a way to say YES.” Thank you, Chad, for your dedication to Publix and to the communities you serve! #PublixPharmacy #WhereWorkingIsAPleasure
