Gordon graduated from the University of Saskatchewan in 1974
with a Bachelor of Science in Pharmacy (with Distinction). He
obtained his Certificate in Hospital Residency at Pasqua Hospital
in Regina in 1975 and continued as a staff pharmacist for the
South Saskatchewan Health Complex. Part of his responsibilities
included the development of protocol and oversight at the Plains
Health Centre prior to its opening in 1976. Ironically, the Saskatchewan
Government closed this facility in 2000 in order to save money.
From 1977-1990 Gordon farmed in the Climax district in southern
Saskatchewan but kept in touch with his pharmacy roots by working
throughout the area as a relief pharmacist. It was during that
time he developed a pharmacy program (as a self-taught programmer)
to manage a pharmacy dispensary which had an initial installed
base of twenty three Saskatchewan stores. In 1985 Gordon entered
into an agreement with Tri-Comp Systems of Saskatoon to act as
consulting pharmacist in the design of a new generation of pharmacy
software. With an installed base approaching one thousand users
in 2003, Gordon is pleased to see his earlier efforts were not
in vain.
In 1990, Gordon, his wife Michele and daughter Ashley left the
farm and purchased a pharmacy in Leader, Saskatchewan. Active
in the community, Gordon is President of the Leader Board of
Trade, a member of the Leader Lions Club and past Board member
of the Great Sandhills Terminal Group.
Gordon's work in the pharmacy on behalf of his patients has
been recognized by provincial and national pharmacy associations:
1995 - Pharmacist of the Year (Saskatchewan Pharmaceutical
Association) for his national initiatives on behalf of food banks.
1997 - Commitment to Care Award for Patient Care (Pharmacy
Practice - national professional journal)
2000 - Innovative Practice Award (Canadian
Pharmacists Association & Apotex/P.A.C.E.)
2005 - Wyeth Consumer Healthcare Bowl of Hygeia Award (Representative
Board of Saskatchewan Pharmacists)
2007 - CPhA Centennial Pharmacist (Canadian
Pharmacists Association)

She looks forward to working with Stueck Pharmacy and the local physicians and nurse practitioner to establish a primary care team that focuses on the promotion of patients’ health and the proper use of medications.
