Post Hasteis Pharmacy hanging wants people toHealthcare THINK About Health in a Different Light

Robert Fishman opened e Wellness Center at Post Haste with one goal in mind, to help patients achieve wellness by balancing the whole body. He watched as healthcare changed from a system focused on healing to a system based solely on treating symptoms. e Wellness Center focuses on identifying the underlying cause of a patient’s symptoms and utilizes a variety of treatments that include holistic medicine, nutritional supplements, hyperbaric oxygen, acupuncture, and traditional healthcare.

Robert Fishman states, “’THINK About Health in a Di erent Light’ best describes the thinking at e Well- Robert Fishman ness Center at Post Haste Pharmacy. I believe that the human body was designed by a creator. Our bodies are The Wellness Center run by our brain, the human computer, and our genetics are the so ware inherited from our parents. is way at Post Haste Pharmacy of thinking has been proven by Einstein almost one hundred years ago. At e Wellness Center, we have put Founder / President together a group of professionals to achieve a new way of helping people with all types of healthcare problems.
