In this episode we talk with Neil McGarvey, PharmD, co-owner of the Professional Pharmacy Group, (Arnold, Annapolis, MedPark and Empire Professional Pharmacies and Kay Cee LTC Pharmacy). We discuss his role in fighting the opioid epidemic - how he uses his business operations, community engagement and leadership style to play a part in preventing opioid misuse and abuse. He drops some real gems that can be used in community practice to empower staff and build respectful relationships with physicians and patients. 

Neil has practiced pharmacy locally in Maryland for 20 years and is a proud graduate of the University of Maryland Pharmacy School in Baltimore. He enjoys being in the pharmacy daily with his staff and commiserating with the members of the local Arnold community. He also enjoys the challenges of medication compounding to suit an individual patients’ needs and teaching students about the profession of pharmacy.
