Weston and Jody Dungan share a love for each other and a love of helping people as pharmacists .

Weston is a Pulaski County native who first pursued a pre-pharmacy track at Western Kentucky University . Jody , who is originally from Alabama , got her start as a pharmacy technician when she was just 17 years old .
