Pharmacy Fun Fact Friday

Did you know?

🍫☕ Hot cocoa isn’t just a cozy winter treat — it might actually help lift your spirits. Cocoa contains flavonoids, which have been shown to improve mood and cognitive function.

🧠 Plus, the warm drink can help you relax and feel more comfortable during chilly days.

❄️ Next time you sip on some hot cocoa, know you’re indulging in more than just a sweet treat; you’re setting yourself up for a better mood.

❄️ Winter Weather? We’re Ready. 💪💊

Thanks to our Medication Synchronization (MedSync) program, we’ve been working weeks ahead — which means most prescriptions are already filled, checked, and waiting before the winter weather rolls in.

👉 What this means for YOU:
• Your meds are likely already ready
• No last-minute scrambles
• No unnecessary trips in bad weather

Quick check:
If you have enough medication to get you through Monday, we strongly encourage you to stay home, stay warm, and stay safe during the storm.

If you’re not sure or think you might be short, give us a call before the weather hits — we’re happy to help you check your supply.

This is exactly why we love MedSync: fewer emergencies, less stress, and safer winters for our patients. ❤️

❄️💊 Plan ahead. Stay safe. We’ve got you covered.
