Meet Our Pharmacists
Erik Cornett, R.Ph.
A DuQuoin, IL native, Erik graduated from St. Louis College of Pharmacy in 1997. He started in the original Marion Medical Pharmacy in our exact location. Erik saw a need for alternative approaches to traditional medication and opened NaturalMed Apothecary in Herrin, IL in 2007 with a focus on compounding and nutritional support. In 2017, NaturalMed made the move to Marion, IL and became CORE Pharmacy. CORE is the final step in Erik’s vision to house a full-service pharmacy, blood draw lab, and a functional health clinic under one roof.
Brian Pankey, PHARM.D.
Originally from Herrin, IL, Brian graduated from St. Louis College of Pharmacy in 2017. After two student rotations at NaturalMed Apothecary, the timing was right to bring an another pharmacist at the new location and rebranded Core Pharmacy.
