Waterford, a small town in Ontario, has announced the opening of Waterford Pharmacy and Health Food. The store, opened by co-owners Kay Eshkour and Amin Boomani, will contain both a full service pharmacy and natural health food products.
“An awareness of healthy living, including proper diet and exercise, is the focus of this pharmacy,” says Eshkour, who explains that as a pharmacist, he’s aware of the nutrient deficiencies that the use of pharmaceutical drugs may cause. With the holistic approach at this store, he says, he will be able to recommend suitable supplements to offset these effects.
The store will also feature educational services, including group and individual seminars about various health issues, vitamins and supplements and other natural remedies. Cassandra Griffiths, a certified nutrition and weight loss adviser, will administer these sessions.
Store hours are Monday to Friday from 9:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. On Sundays, the pharmacy is closed, but the health food section is open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. For more information, contact the store directly at 519-443-0123.
