Michelle Rousson

Proudly Serving: Safeway #4889, Prince Albert, SK

Position: Pharmacist

Core Value: Get It Done with Passion and Integrity

As a small town pharmacist, Michelle Rousson knows her patients, and they know her too. People remembered her father who worked for Safeway for many years, and some even remember her grandfather. “It has always been a close-knit family feeling working for Safeway, and there’s a sense of trust,” said Michelle. “My patients know if they come to me for advice on drugs or general health questions, they know I’ll give it 100 per cent. That trust is integral to doing my job as a pharmacist.” That sense of pride in her work served one patient well when he handed over a complicated prescription that didn’t seem right. MIchelle checked with the patient’s medical team, and discovered that the doctor wrote the prescription based on an old patient record. “If she hadn’t caught the error, the consequences could have been severe,” wrote her colleague’s nomination letter. “I grew up in Prince Albert, and it’s my home. Being able to contribute back is important to me,” said Michelle. “My Sobeys is caring.”
