It’s #AmericanPharmacistsMonth, and I had the chance to sit down with Obi Odi, one of our pharmacists at Store #4487 in Aiken, South Carolina. Obi’s journey is remarkable. Originally from Nigeria, Obi came to the U.S. to further his education and pursue a career in pharmacy. While studying, he was deeply impacted by the events of 9/11 and decided to pause his education to serve in the U.S. Marine Corps, even though he was about to graduate! After completing that Military service, he finished his pharmacy degree and found an opportunity to continue serving his community as a pharmacist at Walmart.
In this episode of The Huddle, Obi shares how his role as a pharmacist allows him to connect with customers beyond their prescriptions, extending a helping hand to those who might need it most. His approach to service—whether in the Military or in the pharmacy—has always been about stepping up for others.
Obi embodies Walmart’s core values of service, respect, excellence, and integrity in everything he does, and it was my absolute honor to offer him a well-deserved promotion to Pharmacy Manager. We’re thankful for Obi’s service and proud to have so many incredible pharmacists on #TeamWalmart. You don’t want to miss this inspiring episode!
