At twelve years old, Kim Wixon locked eyes with her goals and never looked back. At this young age, she knew that she was destined to become a pharmacist. This vision began as she watched her father, day in and day out in his own drug store. She saw the difference he made in his patient’s lives as he helped those in need. His passion slowly became her passion, and Kim’s passion for helping others has been the driving force in not only her professional career, but also in her personal life as well.

In the last eleven years, Kim has assisted our community by offering immunizations, pharmacogenetic testing, and food inflammation testing. While this community loves and appreciates all that Kim offers, it is her personal touch that truly sets her apart.

Her passion for helping others shines bright, and she has carried her father’s torch proudly in this light.
