The woman who printed the Declaration of Independence had a business that is allegedly a rite aid pharmacy. Rite Aid's management will be responding to the article.

"She was also quietly named the first female postmaster in the colonies in 1775, running the busy and crucial Baltimore Post Office as well as a bookstore, print shop and newspaper. At the time, Congress was meeting just down the street from her office. So she was basically the pipeline for a lot of information during our nation’s founding years — her little shop was a combination of The Washington Post, Snapchat, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram from 1775 to 1784. (It’s now a Rite Aid.)"

As of June 19, 2017 there is a medical assistant job, but no nurse job.

I didn't see a pharmacist job, but some people would find it great to be able to work for Disney in the healthcare field.

Flashback from 2015:
Community and big-name pharmacies and hospitals are all dealing with the same problem. In El Paso, there are only 60 pharmacists for every 100,000 people, but in other Texas cities the ratio is much higher where there are 90 pharmacists for every 100,000 people.

Is it the air quality, the dry heat, or something else? I met a guy who used to live there and he said people were laid back.
