At just 25 years old, Josuah Tilus didn’t wait to make his mark on the industry. He bought his own pharmacy fresh out of school and has been redefining what it means to be an owner since. In this episode of Beyond the Scripts, Josuah shares his journey from pharmacy student to pharmacy owner at Chinook Pharmacy in Forks, WA. He opens up about his fast track to ownership: attending over 30 conferences in school, building a strategic network, and getting involved in professional organizations.
Now, as a young owner in a tight-knit community, Josuah is updating operations, rolling out new software, and launching clinical services to tackle healthcare gaps in his rural community. If you’re curious about how to make big moves early in your career — or what it takes to own and innovate —, this episode is for you.
