The end of 2021 is fast approaching! This year will certainly be one to reflect on, taking stock of what we have been through, what we have learned, and being grateful for any silver linings that have come our way.
We can celebrate that we now may spend time with family and friends, albeit perhaps in smaller gatherings and using precautions like checking on vaccination status, masking, and doing testing before gathering. That is quite the change from a year ago! We also continue to mourn those we have lost from this pandemic, now reaching an unfathomable 800,000+ in the U.S., and many more left grieving and suffering from long-term symptoms. Our connection to others and reaching out to support one another is especially important during this time of the year.
Wishing everyone a wonderful and safe holiday season and looking forward to the new year!

As you may have heard me mention already, Capsule Pharmacy is a new model of pharmacy, much in keeping with the philosophy of Wellscape and Direct Primary Care. I have no financial investment, but believe they offer a great service and a refreshing alternative. They offer direct delivery to your home or office, at no additional cost, which can be managed via their easy-to-use app. They also have a great team providing excellent customer service – by phone or text. It’s easy to transfer your medications, and they accept most insurances. Capsule has now also included a variety of over-the-counter medications that can also be delivered at no additional cost.
