Today, we’re excited to share an incredible update—and a heartfelt thank you.
Because of your generosity, our 501 Pharmacy community collected 342 books in December and January alone. Even more amazing? Since September, you’ve helped us collect 664 books—the highest total of any Chatham Reads location.
That’s 664 books that will make their way into the hands of children across Chatham County.
Through partnerships with organizations like CORA, The Learning Trail, Boys & Girls Clubs, and other community groups, Chatham Reads helps ensure more kids have access to books they can truly enjoy. And thanks to you, even more children will have stories to spark imagination, learning, and confidence.
We are so grateful to our patients, customers, and team members who donated, spread the word, and supported this effort. Your generosity makes a real difference in our community.
From all of us at 501 Pharmacy—and from the children who will benefit—thank you.
Han Su, PharmD, is a founding partner of 501 Pharmacy, Chapel Hill’s six-time “Best of Chapel Hill” winner. Han graduated from the College of Pharmacy at the University of South Carolina, the state's oldest and largest professional pharmacy school, receiving his B.S. in 1995, immediately followed by the PharmD program in 1996.
After serving as a retail pharmacist with Revco since 1996 (later becoming CVS in 1997), Han’s resume expanded to include managerial positions within the retail giant in the Chapel Hill and Carrboro area, but ultimately he set his sights toward serving as a community-focused small business owner in 2016 with the opening of 501 Pharmacy. Alongside founding partner Greg Vassie, Han remains excited about his team’s ability to offer the services of an independent pharmacy to Chapel Hill where they feel they are able to give the community more personalized customer service, locally-manufactured products and a wide selection of quality over-the-counter products.
In addition to overseeing the day-to-day operations of 501 Pharmacy’s community practice, Han is also a certified immunizer and often can be found around the “Chapelboro” area facilitating vaccination clinics for residential communities, workplaces, and beyond. When he’s not on-site at the pharmacy or off-site hosting clinics, Han’s duties as husband to Kristy Su, FNP, and dad to sons Kasen and Kai and daughter Abby (plus his four-legged family members) keep him on the go, especially during swim season when it’s time to cheer on the Cary Park Sea Dragons summer swim team and Raleigh Swimming Association’s year-round team.Follow along with Han’s updates on the 501 Pharmacy blog at https://501rx.com/news/ or https://www.instagram.com/501pharmacy/.
