Building Canada's top online pharmacy platform at PocketPills has been a journey driven by a deep sense of purpose. Nobody enjoys taking medicine—it often means dealing with pain (physical or emotional, for themselves or a loved one), and no one likes to stand in line for it. We are trying to reduce the pain of the person—and that's what motivates me every single day.
