Our Approach
When you learn that you have a long-term health problem, one of the most important ways you can manage your condition is by taking your medicine as directed by your doctor, pharmacist, or other health care professional. This is also known as medication adherence. We want to simplify that process for you.
Our Team
Our pharmacists have unique expertise in medication management allowing us to create highly effective solutions for complex patients and their health care providers.
PHARMACY MANAGER, OWNER
Steve Adkins, Pharm.D. Steve Adkins is the owner of Health Park Pharmacy. He has a Bachelor’s Degree in Biology & a Doctorate of Pharmacy from Campbell University. He instructs students from three different pharmacy schools & uses this as an opportunity to share his passion with others. He has been published in a number of national journals including America’s Pharmacist & Pharmacy Times. He has also spoken multiple times at The National Community Pharmacist’s Association (NCPA) Annual Meeting. Steve also serves on The National Council on Prescription Drug Programs (NCDPD), the Retail Advisory Board at North Carolina Mutual Drug & is the winner of National Community Pharmacists Association’s Outstanding Adherence Practitioner Award. He has a passion for serving others & has found education to be his most important tool. This passion started with his first job at an independently owned pharmacy in his hometown of Danville, Virginia. At the age of 16, he started doing deliveries for this pharmacy & later became a pharmacy technician. He felt the impact this small business had on his community & saw first hand the need for a more hands on approach to patient care-which led to his implementation of Simplify My Meds at Health Park Pharmacy in 2007. Now, Health Park Pharmacy has approximately 1200 patients enrolled in this program. He moved to the Raleigh area in 2001 and since then has provided one-on-one advice to each of his patients to improve their health. He has done this by working with doctors to provide the best plan for each individual. His goal as a pharmacist is to educate & empower patients in order to improve their health. Steve is married. He & his wife Vanessa have two children. His interests include spending time with his family, weight training, swimming, hunting, jogging, rock climbing, wakeboarding, and snowboarding.
