On South Neosho Boulevard stands Mitchell’s Drug Store where pharmacist Lacy Epperson works as director of pharmacy clinical services. One day she can be found giving vaccinations and dispensing medications; the next, setting up for a community outreach vaccination clinic, or maybe she'll be teaching the store’s diabetes education program classes for people to learn how to self-manage their diabetes alongside other conditions—a program she established; or even overseeing the on-site pharmacogenomics testing. Her day-to-day responsibilities are always different and fulfilling.
