February is a month of hearts, from Valentine’s Day to Heart Awareness Month. In honor of this, we would like to share our hearts with you! We will be posting a different member of our pharmacy family weekly.

Pharmacy Family Week1:

James and Joan Harb

James and Joan are the owners of the Westport Apothecary. Jim graduated as a pharmacist in January of 1962 from Northeastern University. He joined the service for a few years before coming home to meet Joan. It was love at first sight and they married in February of 1970. The pharmacy was opened not long after in October. Some of you may know, the Apothecary was originally a small, rented space across the way and then ultimately the current store was built in 1972. Mr. Harb was a distinguished pharmacist who was appointed Commissioner of the Board of Pharmacy around 1980. He unfortunately died in 1984 unexpectedly. He is survived by his lovely wife and current owner of the Westport Apothecary, Joan. You can look forward to meeting Joan’s niece, Lynne Barker, and great niece, Lauren Perez, in our upcoming posts!
