Our Story is over 50 years old
The name KARE was comprised of the four original owner’s first names Ken, Al, Rudy, and Eric who, at the time owned two pharmacies in Farmington, NM. The Aztec location was a buy out of Spencer's Drug that had been located on Main Street for over 50 years. It was moved to it's current location in 1974 where Jack Sona, RPh was the practicing pharmacist and owner for 46 years. The Bloomfield, NM location was opened June 1976 located on Salmon Drive. In 1984 it was moved the to its current location on North Church Street where Roger Murray, RPh was the owner and pharmacist providing care to the community of Bloomfield for 43 years.
Over time, the two Farmington stores closed and owners have come and gone but the Aztec and Bloomfield pharmacies remain strong in their respective communities. Products and services have also changed over the years from selling cigarettes, perfume, and an abundance of veterinary medications to a wide range of herbals, vitamins, and “over-the-counter” self-care products. While the stores have always tried to keep an assortment of gifts and cards in stock for anniversaries, birthdays, and holiday’s with FREE gift wrapping for that special occasion, we have to be flexible in this changing environment. We keep our stores flush with new products and services to keep you coming back! And it's worked!
The dynamics of the pharmacy is constantly changing as pharmacists start to play a more integrated role in patient care by providing immunizations, smoking cessation, medication therapy management with adherence packaging, TB skin testing, close communication with providers regarding medication therapy, and much more. The current owner, Ashley Seyfarth, Pharm.D. has lived in both Aztec and Bloomfield her entire life and understands the importance of community support and involvement. She took over the Aztec location in 2017 when Jack retired and Bloomfield in 2019 when Roger retired. Her plan is to continue serving the Aztec and Bloomfield, NM communities for many years to come, even as needs change.
