Clayton Juss

Proudly Serving: Safeway, Alberta

Position: Pharmacist Floater

Core Value: Always Place the Customer First

Pharmacist Clayton Juss was filling in at a Safeway store in Red Deer when he was called to help a customer who required immediate medical attention. He determined that the customer was in the midst of a drug overdose, so he quickly grabbed a Naloxone kit and administered the medication to reverse the effects of an opioid overdose. Thanks to Clayton’s quick actions, the customer regained consciousness and was transferred to hospital. “It felt good,” he said of his ability to help the man, who later returned to the store to thank them for saving his life. “In the moment, I didn’t really think about it. I just did it,” he says. “It was nice to know the training and knowledge we have can come into use even when it’s not needed on a daily basis.” He says customer service is a top priority for pharmacists who are often seeing people when they’re not feeling their best. “The betterment of their health is my most pertinent priority.”
