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. Julie’s passion for pharmacy comes from her love of connecting with patients and making a real impact in their lives, treating each one like family and sharing in their milestones. Despite challenges like medication shortages and ever-changing guidelines, Julie’s motivation comes from her family—John, Aurelia, Verity, her mom Liz, and their dogs Moxie and Marti. Inspired by her mom’s determination, Julie lives by the motto: “If it’s not going to matter 100 years from now, don’t stress about it now.” From cashier to pharmacy manager, Julie’s journey is a testament to hard work, compassion, and the support of her amazing pharmacy team. Thank you, Julie, for all you do for our patients and community! #PublixPharmacy

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
