DO NO HARM

A Pharmacist’s Journey
By Kathy Hurst

Kathy Hurst R Ph. is a wife, mother and pharmacist of 48 years. She began her healthcare career in hospital and later expanded into clinical, community and retail. But, her passion in pharmacy was always compounding. This passion developed at a young age in her childhood kitchen. Her grandmother was the chef at their restaurant and her grandfather was the herbalist. The memory of the sights and aromas of her childhood lead her to opening her own compounding pharmacy, Legacy Specialty Pharmacy.

Within her business she developed a unique area dedicated to educating people about their health issue and empowering them to think for themselves. She became the bridge between their diagnosis and allowing them to be their own personal advocate. They began to share old and new methods their ancestors had used to heal. This allowed her to engage in a new journey as a pharmacist. One that knows and understands how important old and new methods are to each person’s healing.

Now, she spends her retirement time tending vegetables, flowers and herbs at 511 Rains Gardens, her childhood property. She is also co-host at Life in Wellness Podcast and her own podcast A Legacy at 511 Rains.
