Shipman\u2019s Pharmacy Celebrates 60 Years Serving Western Long Island, Expands Digital Offerings<\/a><\/p>\n

Hempstead, NY, USA \u2013 July 13, 2022 \u2013<\/strong> Shipman\u2019s Pharmacy owner Henry Cunningham takes pride in being \u201cThe Herbal Alternative\u201d for many of his customers, supplying health and wellness solutions that supplement traditional medications and treatments. Cunningham provides traditional pharmacy services and alternative choices.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In 2022, the pharmacy is celebrating its 60th year in business and has several new service initiatives launching this summer to complement its existing online prescription management portal, including:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2022 Expansion of its services to include an online store featuring its products for herbal alternative healing Creation of interactive media utilizing new technologies and social media.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Creation of the Be the First to Ask a Question<\/strong> podcast, which answers health and wellness questions received through TikTok and other social media channels.<\/p>\n

ONLINE STORE<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cWe have heard from our customers that they wanted a way to purchase their alternative wellness products online while also supporting a small Black-owned pharmacy,\u201d said Cunningham. \u201cOur new online store allows us to do just that.\u201d<\/p>\n

The online store features a growing selection of the best healthy alternatives, including organic products, health snacks, CBD supplements, herbs, essential oils, vitamins and supplements, skincare and beauty aids, and eco-friendly cleaning products.<\/p>\n

With the online store launch, Cunningham adds that the brick-and-mortar pharmacy, located in the heart of Hempstead for more than 60 years, is not going anywhere, but continues to expand its product lines and offerings to the local community. He has owned the Pharmacy for 30 years and built on the tradition of excellence set by the original owner and his mentor, Dr. Claude Shipman.<\/p>\n

INTERACTIVE MEDIA AND NEW PODCAST<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cOur tradition of holistic care, we treat the whole person: body, mind, and spirit. We focus on families and expert, individualized care,\u201d said Cunningham. \u201cWe are embracing new ways of reaching the local community and beyond by launching a new podcast and answering emerging questions from generally younger people on our TikTok account.\u201d<\/p>\n

ALTERNATIVES THAT PROMOTE HEALTHY LIFESTYLE<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cPhysicians prescribe medications to lessen symptoms and mask this dysfunction, but they often work against the body\u2019s natural healing mechanisms and may cause further dysfunction within a different system,\u201d Cunningham explains. \u201cThe body develops new symptoms and again, another medication is prescribed. We utilize natural medicines and healing alongside these prescriptions to help the body heal itself.\u201d<\/p>\n

A 60-YEAR HISTORY AND TRADITION<\/strong><\/p>\n

Julian McBrowne, Brooklyn\u2019s only black pharmacist at the time, was a great inspiration to a young Claude Shipman. Shipman completed his degree at Brooklyn School of Pharmacy (now the Long Island University Schwartz College of Pharmacy) in 1954. By 1962 he opened two community-based pharmacies, including Shipman\u2019s Pharmacy in Hempstead.<\/p>\n

In 1990, Shipman was appointed by Gov. Mario M. Cuomo to the Governor\u2019s Advisory Committee for Black Affairs. He also took under his wing a young graduate of his alma mater, Henry Cunningham. Upon Shipman\u2019s retirement, Cunningham became owner and pharmacist and began building on his mentor\u2019s legacy of distinguished service. Cunningham\u2019s studies at Long Island University\u2019s Schwartz College of Pharmacy with renowned holistic medicine professor Milford Graves combined with ongoing education on holistic medicine, informs his treatment philosophy as a pharmacist providing \u201cThe Herbal Alternative\u201d to customers near and far.<\/p>\n
