Spreading Love this Valentine’s Day

At The Howard Center, our top priority is always the safety and well-being of our patients, staff, and community. This past month, all of our offices were able to receive the Covid-19 vaccine! We are overjoyed that 90% of our eligible employees received it! This vaccine is love and we thank everyone who has stepped up to the front lines to keep everyone safe. We have been more than blessed to have been given the opportunity to vaccinate our families and loved ones as well! 

Of course, we have to give a huge thank you to the Howards for making sure that every employee was informed and opening themselves up to any questions that we had. We also have to give a big thanks to the amazing pharmacists that came to our facilities and took great care of all of us and were a huge helping hand!
