Meet the Business Owner: Lana H.
"Hello, my name is Lana Hoang; I received my B.A. from Concordia University, Montreal, Canada and received a B.S. in Pharmacy from Arnold and Marie Schwartz College of Pharmacy in Brooklyn, N.Y. I worked in chain stores pharmacies for 10 years and always wanted to work at a pharmacy that focused on patients rather than on profits. I was lucky enough to meet Moe Paradis of The Medicine Shoppe when he was thinking of retiring from his pharmacy and I was able to realize my dream and purchase The Medicine Shoppe in Lewiston, Maine.
