Christine Cyr ClissetHOST
Today we are talking about one of your most long-standing picks, the Coway air purifier.
Christine Cyr ClissetHOST
I'm gonna just call it the Mighty air purifier because there have been multiple models over the years that you've recommended.
Christine Cyr ClissetHOST

Stuart HaynesHOST
Dr. Guta is, at the time of this recording, a PGY2 ambulatory care pharmacy practice resident, and over the past 11 months she's completed a, a wide variety of patient care experiences, including currently she's on a geriatric experience with Dr. Westerhoff.
