Love Oak Pharmacy Opens 24/7 Health Club

Love Oak Pharmacy Opens 24/7 Health Club

By Levi Freeman, Love Oak Pharmacy in Eastland has taken a significant step towards becoming a “holistic destination” for health and wellness. The pharmacy has opened a state-of-the-art 24/7 health club, equipped with Matrix equipment covering every muscle group and including cardio equipment on the second floor. This new addition is in response to Dr. Benjamin McNabb’s frustration with only being able to provide “50% of the health solution to customers through medication alone.” 04/27/2023 12:00 AM

If the 1980s were the golden age of Eastland High School Mavericks’ football program, the 2010’s and 2020’s would certainly have to be considered the silver age as Eastland rolled to a pair of district championships and six postseason appearance from 2016 to 2022. 04/20/2023 12:00 AM
