About the Pharmacy Departments:

Inpatient Pharmacy:

“Becoming a Pharmacy Technician with Avera has given me the opportunity to climb ladders that never existed anywhere else that I have worked in my 21 year career.  With Avera, we are more than just “pill-counters”.  Our team stretches through several inpatient and outpatient pharmacies, patient advocacy, cancer treatment, behavioral health, and even technology and administration. This is a truly rewarding career, and I look forward to many more years as a Pharmacy Technician with Avera.”
