Courtney Quinby, co-owner of Centralia Pharmacy and Chehalis Pharmacy, has won the 2025 Washington State Pharmacy Association’s (WSPA) Outstanding Mentor Award.
She will be honored during the WSPA annual meeting during the Awards of Distinction Soirée & Dessert Dash on Friday, Nov. 7 from 7:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. at Great Wolf Lodge.
Centralia Pharmacy celebrated the news with a social media post.
“To us, this award is no surprise. Whether she’s guiding future pharmacists, caring deeply for her patients or leading our team with compassion and strength, Courtney pours her heart into everything she does,” the pharmacy wrote. “She makes our pharmacy feel less like a business and more like a ‘pharmily.’ This award is a special recognition of the dedication and drive we get to see in her every day.”
The WSPA Outstanding Mentor Award recognizes a pharmacist or pharmacy technician actively engaged in practice, with at least 10 years of pharmacy practice experience, who has been and continues to be an outstanding mentor in the field of pharmacy.
Courtney and her husband Will opened Centralia Pharmacy in May 2017. The couple also owns Chehalis Pharmacy and Tim’s Pharmacy in Yelm.
