Happy Turkey Day!

Wednesday, November 25th, 2009

We would like to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving and we hope that everyone gets to eat a lot of yummy food! There is nothing better than being able to spend a day with family/friends and share a great meal amongst each other. At MedSave we are thankful for a countless number of things but most importantly our great staff and our wonderful customers! We wouldn’t be here without you!  Have a Happy Thanksgiving!

Are you getting enough Vitamin D?

Wednesday, November 18th, 2009

Now that we have less sunlight, it is a good time to talk about the “sunlight vitamin” or Vitamin D! Did you know that over 65% of adults in Northern MN are deficient in Vitamin D? Deficiency in Vitamin D can lead to Multiple Sclerosis (MS), certain cancers, increased falls, and depression. The best way to know your Vitamin D status is to have a blood test (ask your doctor), but to be safe. It is recommended that adults should take at least 1,000 i.u. (international units) of Vitamin D per day, but would be safe taking 2,000 i.u. per day.

And the WINNER is……

Friday, November 6th, 2009

As of yesterday evening we had a winner of our Chicken Costume fundraiser for the United Way. How the event worked is we had four bowls, each bowl had a name on it of either Richard, Julie, John, or Mandy. Our customers and staff would put a donation in the bowl of the person they would like to see wear the Chicken Costume ALL day TODAY! All donations went to the United Way of Bemidji.

And the lucky winner was…… pharmacist John Naegeli! We have a feeling there were lots of staff donations into John’s bowl! =)

Stop by MedSave today to see John in his Chicken Costume! Thank you to everyone who helped make this event successful!
