I began working for Paragon Pharmacies as a relief pharmacist in 2005. I was very impressed with the company's focus on professionalism and customer service. In 2006, Paragon opened a new store in Castlegar providing me with the opportunity to return to my hometown. I am now the Pharmacy Manager at Paragon Columbia Pharmacy, a thriving, professional, clinical dispensary. I am thrilled to be part of this vibrant company. Melanie Hanson, Pharmacy Manager

I have been a pharmacist with the company since 1997. Paragon offers me the freedom to practice community based professional pharmacy. It’s all about being involved in your local community and making a difference to the people who live here. Paragon provided me with the opportunity to grow professionally with the company. I started as a staff Pharmacist at Black Mountain Pharmacy, and then was promoted to Pharmacy Manager at Paragon Mission Centre Pharmacy in September 2003 when we opened a new clinical pharmacy in the growing Okanagan Mission community of Kelowna. I’m happy to be a part of the Paragon family and look forward to many more years with the company. Dayton Soobol, Pharmacy Manager.
