Pharmacist Bios

Brad Lueneburg

Brad Lueneburg joined Family Rexall Drug as a pharmacist in 1982 after graduating from the University of Minnesota College of Pharmacy. His history with the business, however, goes back to grade school as he worked at the store for his father as a janitor, clerk, inventory taker, delivery person, or anything else that needed doing.

“Having the opportunity to grow up in the business observing and helping Dad, I was able to appreciate the special relationship a pharmacist has with his patients and the ways you can truly help them. I was never pushed to go into the family business, this appreciation grew into something that I knew I had to be a part of.”

Brad lives in Hutchinson with his wife Jeri. His daughters Megan and Liz have graduated from high school and are pursuing fields of study other than pharmacy so far.

In his spare time Brad enjoys spending time with family and friends in the Minnesota and Colorado outdoors boating, hiking, skiing, fishing, and hunting.

Lisa Ellefson

Lisa Ellefson began working for Family Rexall Drug in 1996.

She developed an interest in medicine in high school, and found a career in pharmacy was exactly what she was looking for. “I enjoy helping our patients understand their medications to get the most out of their therapy. It’s a good feeling when people trust you enough to ask questions and listen to your advice.”

Away from work, Lisa is kept busy with her husband Tim, and two daughters, Erica & Annika. She also enjoys cheering for all Minnesota sports teams, and reading.

Krista Berkner

Krista Berkner joined the Family Rexall Drug team in 2010. She is a 2008 graduate of the University of Minnesota and lives in the rural Hutchinson areas and enjoys the familiar small town atmosphere. Krista is a first generation pharmacist and got into the profession because of her love of science and the opportunity to help people. “Connecting with people and feeling like I made a difference is the most rewarding part of this job for me.” When she isn’t working, Krista enjoys reading, baking, and spending time with her husband and their two dogs.
