One doctor's dream to not only fulfill a need, but to provide a great quality of health and service to his community, saw his dreams come into reality when he opened New Town Pharmacy this year.
Dr. Albert Chester II opened this pharmacy with it being the only pharmacy within a 3-mile radius. He said he saw a need for a pharmacy in the community because older people or anyone without a car struggle to get the medicine they need. As a native of Jacksonville, Florida and a graduate of Florida A&M University, Dr. Chester witnessed first-hand the challenges faced by the elderly and those who simply did not have access to their own transportation to access quality medicines.
Chester and his family saved their money for two full years in order to open the business.
"It means I'm invested in sowing a seed into the community. Hopefully, it will grow and inspire other people to do the same thing," Dr. Chester said. "Our whole point is to help and capture as many people as we can."
