Rebecca “Becca” Fitzpatrick, PharmD, is a Pharmacist/Clinical Services Coordinator for Hartig Drug Company in Dubuque, Iowa. She graduated from the University of Iowa College of Pharmacy in 2017 and has worked at Hartig for three years.
Originally from Bellevue, Iowa, Fitzpatrick fell in love with the pharmacy profession after graduating high school. Her mom, also a pharmacist, got Fitzpatrick a job as a pharmacy technician at the community pharmacy she managed. On her first day, Fitzpatrick watched her mom counsel a patient she had known for ten years and saw firsthand the love, compassion, and knowledge she brought to the encounter. At that moment, Fitzpatrick knew she couldn’t wait to start helping patients, optimize patient medication regimens, and gain clinical knowledge.
Fitzpatrick resides in Dubuque with her husband Steven, and her furbaby (cat), Emmy. She enjoys crocheting, reading, practicing piano, and watching movies.
Fitzpatrick enjoys working for Hartig but especially loves calling patients to review their medication lists, make sure everything is working okay, and check to see if patients have any side effects. Creating the connection to patients, the same way her mom taught her, is essential to Fitzpatrick.
