Go With The Workflow

Today, I’m joined by Stan Hill, Executive Director of Pharmacy Services at MemorialCare in Orange County, California. Stan has built a remarkable career from the ground up — starting as a pharmacy clerk before becoming a technician, critical care pharmacist, and now a hospital pharmacy leader overseeing multiple facilities. In this episode, we explore how frontline experience shapes leadership, the hidden operational and compliance risks many hospitals overlook, and how data, culture, and accountability can transform pharmacy operations.
