ORLANDO, Fla. – Clint Hopkins, a pharmacy owner in Sacramento, Calif., has received this year’s NARD Ownership Award from the National Community Pharmacists Association as part of the association’s recent annual convention. The award recognizes an independent community pharmacist who embraces entrepreneurial spirit through promotion and demonstrated excellence in the field of community pharmacy ownership. Hopkins and his husband Joel Hockman relocated to Sacramento in 2016 to purchase Pucci’s Pharmacy from Tom and Linda Nelson, who had already set the stage for providing quality care to the local LGBTQ+ community. Hopkins and Hockman opened Pucci’s LTC Pharmacy earlier this year and acquired Eddie’s Pharmacy in Los Angeles along with their business partners in April 2023. They pride themselves on expanding health care access to those who are underserved. Hopkins is currently serving on the Community Pharmacy Advisory Group Steering Committee for the California Pharmacists Association and is also serving on the Good Neighbor Pharmacy Advisory Board for AmerisourceBergen. He was also recognized with the 2023 California Pharmacists Association’s Pharmacist of the Year Award.
