Scott Townsend, RPh

Scott Townsend began his pharmacy career at the age of 19, working for a home infusion/longterm care pharmacy in his hometown of Lansing, Michigan. It was there he became interested in the practice of pharmacy. He spent several years learning the art of compounding, and practice of I.V. infusion therapies. He was also fortunate to work closely with Dr. Jack Broviac, the inventor of the Broviac-Hickman central-line catheter, which became the standard method of infusion for long-term I.V. therapy patients, and is still used today.  He graduated from Ferris State University College of Pharmacy in 1993. 

Scott has has also worked for several of the large "chain" pharmacies as a Pharmacy Manager and corporate trainer, as well as a preceptor and adjunct faculty member for several phamacy schools in North Carolina and Michigan, all of which re-enforced the idea that he had to open his own pharmacy to truly make a difference in his patients' lives.  Scott and his wife Debbie opened Wake Forest Drug in December 2004.
