Oval Integrative Pharmacy announced today their grand opening inside the Richmond Olympic Oval next to LifeMark Sport Medicine in Richmond, BC. Owned by a pharmacist and psychotherapist team – Grace and David Chong, Oval Integrative Pharmacy was established to serve the neighborhood and address a growing demand for integrative and holistic pharmaceutical services for people in all stages of life. Integrative pharmacy is a patient-centered approach in which healthcare providers and patients shift their focus towards physical wellness, mental wellness, and optimal health instead of focusing on the treatment of symptoms. “At Oval Integrative Pharmacy we strive for excellence. My aim is to form deep connections with our clients and to improve their well-being,” said Grace Chong, Pharmacy Director. ”In addition to pharmaceutical services, we integrate counselling services to provide our clients with an effective and balanced wellness offering.” At Oval Integrative Pharmacy, we take it one step further by combining conventional medicines, complementary medicines and practices, and counselling therapy to provide your whole family with safe and effective holistic care. No matter your age, our team believes that our unique approach of blending professional pharmacy services with psychotherapy can help our patients take back control of their lives. By focusing on illness prevention, health optimization and counselling therapy, our team can identify and resolve issues before they progress into more problematic illnesses and traumas. Many of our patients have seen improvement throughout all facets of their life, including relationships, abilities, mood, and energy. Grand opening event takes place at 11am on July 15, 2021 inside LifeMark Sport Medicine.
