TERRYWHITE Chemmart celebrated exceptional performance across its pharmacy network at its 2026 HEART Awards last night, with the highest honour, the National Pharmacy of the Year, presented to TerryWhite Chemmart Clare, in South Australia.
The pharmacy was recognised for its innovation in service excellence, strong uptake of professional services, digital integration and a clear strategic focus on future-ready healthcare delivery.
