Guardian SE Florida was fortunate not to fall victim of Hurricane Matthew. But, as the storm approached, thousands of medications for a week’s worth of orders were filled in just 2 days, thanks to the collaborative efforts of all of our staff. Our service levels to our customers remained a high priority, and we were prepared well in advance.
Our staff showed amazing team spirit and dedication. We had no idea until after the fact, that two of our valued team members had lost family in Haiti as a result of this horrific storm. They did not complain; they didn’t stop working; they just kept on going, pursuing the goal of completing all medications orders prior to us closing the pharmacy.
The pharmacy has started a relief fund that includes supplies for the families and loved ones left behind. This was turned over to our employees, who directed it to families in need. In addition, Alan Traster, President, personally thanked our employees and offered them grievance funds which were passed it on to the survivors in need in Haiti.
We are proud to have these people as our Guardian Family, and wish them strength and courage during this challenging time.
