PHARMACISTS by and large are a very community focused lot, and often go above and beyond to support their patients.
This dedication to the community they serve can frequently take them out of their comfort zone.
For South Carolina pharmacist, Jarrod Tippins, efforts to support his community will see him take the stage at Southeastern Institute of Manufacturing and Technology Center on the Florence-Darlington Technical College campus later this month to compete in a fundraising dance event for the school.
Tippins said prior to being roped into taking part in the dance-off, he was adamant he had two left feet, but has embraced the challenge ahead of the 26 Mar competition, where he is set to jive with early childhood education teacher, Hannah Yarborough, to the iconic Kenny Loggins hit "Footloose".
Speaking to SC Now, Tippins said his biggest fear was "that I forget my moves...I hope I don't skip what comes next".
He added that his colleagues behind the dispensary and throughout the pharmacy have been "very supportive", and have been asking patients for donations in the lead up to the event.
While initially reticent to take part, Tippins is now aiming to win "I don't like to tell people I'm competitive, deep down, who doesn't like to win".
