Get your Free Vial of Life Kit at Stueck Pharmacy |
 In an emergency the Vial of Life will speak for you when you can't! Do you have one?
Leah Butt, BSP
The Vial of Life is a medicine bottle that holds your personal medical information; the vial can be stored in your refrigerator for easy access in an emergency. Your Vial of Life should contain a completed Vial of Life form, a current photo of yourself, a Living Will or equivalent, any Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) documentation, any other documentation you feel is important.
You can pick up your own Vial of Life kit, free of charge at Stueck Pharmacy. Talk to one of the pharmacists about the information that you should keep in your vial and ask to have a printout of your medications that can be included.
Don’t forget to put a Vial of Life sticker on your refrigerator to let EMS know where to check for your information.
The Vial of Life is designed to speak for you when you can't speak for yourself.

Supporting Saskatchewan families |
Gordon Stueck and Olive Kulrich with the donation of products valued at $4,000 made to Olive's nephews Quintuplets. Good luck and happy parenting to this young family. |
by Pam Busby
On April 2, 2009 Stueck Pharmacy and the PharmaChoice Family of Pharmacies made a huge donation to a deserving Saskatchewan family. In October of 2008 this family gave birth to quintuplets and they also have a two year old son. Imagine the expense in this day and age of raising six little ones, diapers alone could put one in the poor house.
This young Saskatchewan family is related to one of our local residents, Olive Kulrich. Olive will be responsible for delivering the donation of $4,000 worth of products. The father of the quintuplets is Olive's nephew, and Olive reports that they are all doing well, but keeping everyone very busy.
PharmaChoice is made up of 140 small family pharmacies, their motto is Pharma Choice family of Pharmacies Supporting Saskatchewan Families. When Gord heard of this family he put the wheels into motion to make this donation possible. Once again this is a reminder of how lucky we are to live in a province like this. Paying it forward is what it's all about we must take care of each other to make this world a little better place in which to live.
The babies mother would like to say: "My family and I are overwhelmed by the incredible generosity of Stueck Pharmacy and the PharamaChoice family. Stueck Pharmacy - PharmaChoice have given my family an amazing gift; one we won't soon forget. My entire family wishes to extend a huge, heartfelt thank you!"

It pays to use RE-USABLE BAGS
at Stueck Pharmacy! |
We are pleased to announce the continuation of our Plastic Bag vs. Reusable Bag initiative. The response has been overwhelming! December, our busiest month, saw a decrease of 85% in plastic bag usage compared to the previous year. Customers have been pleased with our initiative since it reflects their concern with the environment. To promote continued participation, Stueck Pharmacy will continue to charge 5 cents per plastic bag and offer a 25 cent discount on purchases (over $5.00) when customers use a reusable bag.
Congratulations and thank you to you, our customers, for making this program a true success.
