Rep. Jake Auchincloss has announced that his guest at President Biden’s State of the Union address on Tuesday will be Dr. Xiaoyan Qin, owner of Union Pharmacy in Newton Center. After working as a pharmacist and pharmacy manager in Newton Center for 15 years, Dr. Qin opened Union Pharmacy in 2019 to give people a community-centered care option. Rep. Auchincloss said, “As an independent pharmacist, Dr. Xiaoyan Qin has made a name for herself with top-notch patient service. As a small-business owner and pharmacy advocate, she also represents how immigrants enrich our communities.”
“I’ve dedicated my career to providing increased access, choice, and excellent pharmacy service to the local community,” said Dr. Qin. “I am thrilled to be invited to the State of the Union by Congressman Auchincloss, and help increase awareness of the critical role independent pharmacies play in the health of local communities. Like other small business owners, I also am grateful to be able to contribute to the local economy and create jobs.”
