August 16, 2016
The Rotary Club of Ville Platte today (Tuesday) heard from Audie Bellard, owner of Bellard’s Family Pharmacy of Home Medical Equipment of Eunice.
Bellard, who has been a pharmacist for 28 years, shared his early memories of playing Little League baseball against Ville Platte All Star teams. He urged Rotarians to support local independent pharmacists who don’t punch clocks.
The Eunice pharmacist also specializes in gerontology and dermatology to better assist senior citizens.
In 2006, Bellard’s Pharmacy expanded his line to include durable home medical equipment. He introduced Lisa Deshotel who is marketing director for the medical equipment. The pharmacy is expanding their marketing into Evangeline and Acadia Parishes.
Bellard praised State Senator Eric Lafleur and State Representative Bernard LeBas for their efforts in helping senior citizens.
Bellard was the special guest of Rotarian Fannie Soileau.
Rotary Club President Peter Strawitz read a text from Ville Platte Mayor Jennifer Vidrine who is in Baton Rouge attempting to get approval for Evangeline Parish to be included as a disaster area declaration. It was reported that more than 300 homes were affected during last weekend’s floods.
