Tony Minniti takes the “community” in community pharmacy to heart. For over 25 years, Tony and his team have been creating programs and services that serve the diverse patient population in Camden, NJ. By recognizing the different needs of each patient, Tony is able to create a more equitable community in Camden and foster a culture of inclusion for all.
