It is with a heavy heart that we share with our community the news of the passing of Joe Bettinger on Friday, July 24. Joe purchased the pharmacy in 2000 and was the owner until his retirement in 2019. Joe’s focus on quality, training, and keeping the pharmacy up to date on the latest technology and trends allowed Hieber’s to continue to serve its patients and the community over the last two decades. In particular, Joe’s keen interest in compounding helped to position Hieber’s as a recognized name in the medical community.

Early in his career as a pharmacist, Joe observed a need for the ability to deliver medications to those who could not take them by conventional means. This exemplified how Joe saw his role as pharmacist; not only as a career, but as a way to truly help patients. Joe strived to do everything he could to help every person who walked through the door. He was a compassionate, caring man who treated everyone like family, even those he had just met. The Hieber’s family will always remember his passion for life, his upbeat personality, and his drive to make the world a better place.
