I have been practicing hospital pharmacy for 29 years. Most of my career has been in pharmacy management at the director level in small rural hospitals. I find the clinical opportunities to be numerous and exciting in this environment and have enjoyed working in the community hospital environment. I am currently the Vice President of Business Development in a small community hospital in Berlin, Wisconsin, and still have an active role in the pharmacy.
