Unveiling The Jack Walter Whitley Pharmacy
Pharmacist Jack Walter Whitley has forever left his mark on the work we do.
On June 17, we officially renamed our pharmacy in Jack’s memory—The Jack Walter Whitley Pharmacy at West Virginia Health Right—after his sudden passing in April.
We felt this was a fitting and deserving way to remember a man who gave so much of himself to ensuring that every patient filling a prescription with us was treated with the care and respect they deserve.
It’s safe to say that Jack’s attention to detail and dedication to his work, both in our pharmacy and while serving on our board, helped thousands of West Virginians have a brighter future.
Now, every person who enters our pharmacy will know his impact.
We want to give a special thanks to everyone who attended our plaque unveiling ceremony, including Jenny Whitley McReynolds, Jack’s sister, Dave Ramsey, former CEO of Vandalia Health CAMC and our board members.
June marked Men’s Health Month
Did you know that men are 33% less likely to visit the doctor than women, according to the CDC? Because June is Men’s Health Month, we wanted to use this opportunity to remind folks that our clinics are open year-round to support a variety of men’s healthcare needs. Don’t wait to come see us until something gets bad. We’re here to support you now.
