Erin Halvorson of Ladora Receives Pharmacy Technician of the Year Award

DES MOINES — June 15, 2026 — The Iowa Pharmacy Association (IPA) is pleased to announce the 2026 recipient of the Pharmacy Technician of the Year Award is Erin Halvorson, CPhT, of Ladora, IA. The award was presented on June 11, 2026, at the association’s 2026 Annual Meeting in Coralville, IA.

Erin Halvorson is a pharmacy technician at Towncrest Pharmacy (based in Iowa City, IA) and was recently promoted to lead telepharmacy technician for Towncrest’s hybrid pharmacy in Van Horne, IA. Halvorson is immunization certified and helps train new technicians at the pharmacy.

Halvorson is known for her warm smile and genuine care for her patients and coworkers. She is skilled in her ability to see the entire patient, recognizing verbal and non-verbal cues that may affect the individual’s ability to care for themselves or others. She is an advocate for her patients and happy to answer their questions—or refer them to a pharmacist or insurance agent when needed. Halvorson is kind and empathetic, known for making after-hours deliveries to her patients in need of their medications.

The Pharmacy Technician of the Year Award recognizes a pharmacy technician in Iowa who has demonstrated outstanding involvement in the Iowa Pharmacy Association and enthusiasm for the pharmacy profession in the state.

Van Horne Towncrest Pharmacy patients and community,

We want to thank you for the support over the years. It is with great sadness that we must announce the closure of our Van Horne Towncrest Pharmacy location. This decision was made after much thought, consideration, and reflection. A major consideration to our decision was due to the business practices of pharmacy benefit managers or PBMs, who determine how much we get paid to provide medications and services to our patients. Essentially, we could not afford to keep our operations going in Van Horne, due to insufficient reimbursement to even cover the costs of our operations.

We want to make it very clear that we are still here for you at our other locations. By consolidating our operations, we can continue to provide our pharmacy services for you. Beginning April 1, 2026 (4/1/26) we will transfer all Van Horne prescriptions to our Marengo Towncrest Pharmacy location. We would greatly appreciate the opportunity to continue to care for you at this location. We will continue to offer free local delivery to Van Horne and the surrounding communities. If you choose another pharmacy provider, please let our Van Horne team know and we will do our best to ensure a smooth transition – but we hope you continue to give us this opportunity to serve as your pharmacy. Our Marengo phone number is (319) 741-6300.
Again, thank you for your support.

Respectfully,

Towncrest Pharmacy Ownership
