Dr. Jeremy Ivie PharmD
My wife and I are both from Sevier County and love living in this area. We keep busy cheering our kids on in sports. We enjoy kayaking, ATV rides, hiking, camping and all this area has to offer. I personally enjoy hunting and fishing and more so when it's with family or friends. I was raised in Salina and moved away for about 20 years. During that time I attended school at Snow College, Utah Valley, and Utah State University. I then attended Roseman University of Health Sciences where I received my PharmD in pharmacy. I have been a pharmacist now for about 10 years. I worked one year in Salt Lake City as a staff pharmacist for Associated Foods and then was lucky enough to be the manager at North Sevier Pharmacy for the last 9 years in Salina. Living in my hometown has helped me to feel more connected to the people I serve at the pharmacy. I love the people here in these rural areas.
