Health First Pharmacy can be found in Old Town Windsor, in one of the new developments in Sonoma County that's fun to be part of. The European style buildings lend themselves to a different type of occupant: one that pushes traditional ideas to obtain new approaches and yet retains the community feel of years past. Health First Pharmacy not only offers medicines but also provides a library of books, newsletters and articles so that the consumer can participate in their health and find information that is not commonly available elsewhere. They encourage people to be active members of a triad of careers: the patient, the medical practitioner and the pharmacist. It is easy just to take a medication, but is that what you really want to do without finding out about available options? At Heath First Pharmacy the pharmacists and the staff will openly encourage you to ask questions on a variety of health issues, from basic nutrition to hormone counseling for both men and women of all ages. They even offer saliva tests to determine hormone levels!

Health First Pharmacy's website is still under construction, but can offer alternative ways of thinking about health issues. There are credentials for Mark Burger, the pharmacist, as well as general information on the location of the store. In addition, there is a very interesting article on the history of pharmacies and medicine distribution, as well as more detailed information on compounding pharmacists.

As a brand new company, Health First Pharmacy came to Bags with a request for packaging and looked at many options. The packaging specialists at Bags helped Mark decide which direction he wanted to take his company. Custom labels and and custom bags were the two main packaging products Mark needed to start the company. He chose a rectangular label with round corners that had their attractive logo and company information printed in 3 colors. When choosing bags, Health First Pharmacy decided that they would like to be active participants in caring for the environment and that meant using environmentally friendly bags. They chose a 12x15+3 EF/D Bag that is white with their company logo information printed on one side using water-based inks. What Health First Pharmacy really likes about EF/D Bags is that they convey a positive message to the consumer of Health First Pharmacy's dedication to the environment. Health First Pharmacy encourages their customers to reuse and recycle their bags and helps to educate their customers on EF/D Bags in the store.

Congratulations to Mark on his new enterprise - we look forward to many long years of business!
