Meet Rachel Hall, Pharmacist at NuCara Pharmacy in Greenfield, Iowa
Rachel Hall’s inspiration to become a pharmacist was shaped by her family’s deep roots in caregiving and hard work. Her great-grandma Umbaugh worked as a nurse at Dunkerson Nursing Home in Greenfield, where she cared for people in their greatest times of need. Rachel also grew up helping her dad on the family farm, working long hours unloading cattle or combining late into the night. “Pharmacy felt like the perfect mix of helping others like my great-grandma and the relentless rural work ethic of farmers like my dad,” Rachel shared.
Rachel joined NuCara after Greenfield’s Shopko pharmacy closed in 2019. She has enjoyed collaborating with others in her community to keep healthcare accessible and is grateful to NuCara and the Lenox team for stepping up to help make the transition possible.
Rachel loves getting to know her patients and says they truly feel like family. “My favorite part is when they share what they do or what they’re facing—it’s such a privilege to be part of their lives,” she said.
Outside of work, Rachel enjoys spending time on the farm with her husband and kids—though she jokes that her husband says she’s “at negative wages” for how much she still has to learn.
For Rachel, the most rewarding part of being a pharmacist is being able to share her time and talents with the Greenfield community and receive the same kindness and connection in return.
We’re so thankful to have Rachel as part of our NuCara team and for the care, compassion, and dedication she brings to her patients every day.
