Rutland's diversity is what makes it special. From blue-collar workers to business owners and professionals, the community's hardworking nature, friendliness, and pride create a unique environment he calls "Rutland Proud."

He envisions improved access to healthcare, mental health support, and various services within the community. Rutland Medical Pharmacy aims to contribute by providing virtual care, efficient prescription services, and a welcoming healthcare environment.

“We have so much more time to talk to our customers than I did in my past life in a big box pharmacy…making a difference has always been my goal.”

At Rutland Medical Pharmacy they have the resources to do vaccines and fill prescriptions quickly, on a walk in basis, and to offer pharmacist prescribing and refill services to our full scope.

Growing up in small towns, Steven appreciates Rutland's growing yet community-oriented atmosphere. He believes small towns offer unique opportunities to get involved and make a real difference, a sentiment that motivates him to enhance the pharmacy experience for everyone.
