Ronald G. Cameron, C.E.O.
Find a need and fill it. It has been the formula for achieving the American dream for at least as long as Americans have been building this country. In 1970 a young pharmacist working a rotating schedule realized that the profession needed a real temporary service. That pharmacist, Ronald G. Cameron, Latrobe, Pennsylvania born and University of Pittsburgh educated, created America's first pharmacist's registry: Cameron and Company, Inc^®.

The other ingredient in any success story, hard work, saw his registry grow over the years until today it straddles the continent with offices from Florida to Hawaii, with hundreds of carefully selected pharmacists, and thousands of satisfied clients. In 1970, Cameron and Company had only one employee, Ronald G. Cameron himself, and success didn't come quickly. It took about five years to catch on and then it exploded. Today, virtually every major drug chain uses Cameron and Company, as well as hospitals, universities, clinics, mail-order houses, and such exotic venues as prisons, Indian reservations and warehouses. In fact, virtually anywhere medications are furnished, Cameron and Company has been there, filling the need for temporary help.

Today, almost anyone can start-up a pharmacist relief agency, but they aren't all alike. Only one has been there from the beginning with the experience, the know-how, and added value that make it the premier pharmacist's temp agency. Cameron and Company, Inc.^® is "THE Pharmacist's Registry.^®"

You can read Ronald G. Cameron's story in his own words in the article "A Niche Market Success Story" published in Staff Digest.

Mr. Cameron won the 2002 Distinguished Alumnus Award at his alma mater, the University of Pittsburgh. Read the University of Pittsburgh alumni magazine article.

Brad Cherson, Vice President, Southern Division
Pharmacy has been in Brad Cherson's blood, having worked with his familiy in an independent pharmacy in Greensboro, North Carolina originally built in 1898, where he started as a "soda jerk" mixing and brewing various types of sodas, ice cream shakes, and root beer castor oil mixtures. Wooden floors and cabinets, black and white hexagonal floors, and life stories were the treasures Brad was exposed to while learning the pharmacy business.

Mr. Cherson eventually graduated to the back of the pharmacy where he learned the fine art of pharmacy from his father. In those days, pharmacy was non-computerized and they knew every customer and their whole family.

After graduating in 1980 from Medical University of South Carolina, in Charleston, Mr. Cherson moved to Rochester, NY in order to pursue his creative side of photography at Rochester Institute of Technology. He attended RIT while finishing his extern hours at Rite Aid. Originally obtaining his license in New York state, Mr. Cherson eventually discovered pharmacy to be much more lucrative than photography. After leaving Rite Aid, Mr. Cherson worked in New Product Development for Pennwalt Pharmaceuticals. Mr. Cherson still maintains a strong interest in photography, both in collecting and pursing his own body of work.

The South never left Brad's blood, and he and his wife moved to Atlanta, Georgia to open a Medicine Shoppe Pharmacy in Decatur, Georgia, which he owned for ten years. He sold the Shoppe in 1992 to pursue other interests in photography, where again, pharmacy proved to be a better income-producing career for his young family.
