Meet Rachelle 💉💊

Rachelle has been practising since graduating from the University of Alberta in 2012, with a special interest in mental health and diabetes. Known for her compassionate, down-to-earth approach, she focuses on helping patients take small, manageable steps toward better health.

Outside of work, she’s happiest on full-day outdoor adventures, usually on skis, bikes, or in hiking boots, with enthusiasm that generously makes up for her lack of skill.

COVID-19 vaccine update:

As of March 2026, pharmacies are now able to give publicly funded COVID-19 vaccines!

Qualifications for these vaccines include:
- Anyone over 80 years of age
- Those over 65 years of age with a chronic health condition, such as diabetes or asthma
- Those over 11 years of age who are severely immunocompromised or undergoing cancer treatment

If you have already received a vaccine, you are eligible for another one as long as it has been 3 months since your last.

If you are not eligible for a provincially funded COVID-19 vaccine, you can still purchase one, and most private insurance plans cover it.

Book your COVID-19 vaccine:

Order, refill and manage your prescriptions quickly and easily with an online service and mobile app. Ask your pharmacist about PharmaConnect.
