Hello, MICHAEL.

Their customer service, at least from what I've experienced, wasn't as good as
it could be.  However, there is one CVS I went to recently here that the
service was quite good.  The Walgreens near my house can be hit or miss with
customer service; they're notoriously bad in the evenings with all of the
college kids and teens working.

The VA hospital here serves four states (around 110,000 veterans).  On a side
note, there's over 20,000 veterans just in Washington County (my county) alone.
The Johnson City Medical Center is a Level 1 trauma center and it has the
Niswonger Children's Hospital in it.  JCMC is also Tennessee's only "magnet"
hospital and is a multiple award-winning hospital (their stroke center is one
of the best in the US), so that is a huge, huge campus all over town. ETSU also
has its College of Medicine and they have offices all over the region, but
especially here in JC.

We just had a brand-new 100% "green" hospital open up here (replacing two older
hospitals that were partially shut down).  There seems to be a never-ending
need for nurses up here also, but unfortunately, I've not the temperament to be
a nurse.  The medical community is a very large part of the economy here and
with that, the support network for pharmacies, big or small, is quite good.
