I have had the pleasure of working with Robert (Bob) Koch for the past fifteen years at Group Health Co-operative and Kaiser Permanente. Bob and I have worked as pharmacists together in the pharmacy relief pool. After he took a permanent position as staff pharmacist in the Group Health/Kaiser Permanente Everett Medical Center we have also had occasion to work side by side when I have been stationed at that pharmacy. I have always been able to depend on Bob. He is a quick, thorough and efficient worker. I have known him to be punctual, hard-working and cheerful. I am always happy to work with him because I know he will do his share of the work and more. He never complains, he just pitches in and completes any task. Bob has demonstrated that he has knowledge of all things pharmacy related. When he worked in the relief pool, he was able to adjust to every venue and participate in any capacity, solving problems, insuring patient safety and performing pharmacist duties quickly and accurately. When he was hired full time at Everett, he became knowledgeable about infusions and injectable medications. Before coming to Group Health, he practiced pharmacy in the retail environment. I feel confident that Robert Koch will be able to fill any pharmacist position very well, given his wealth of experience and winning attitude. You will be glad you have added him to your pharmacy team. If you would like to discuss this further, I enclose my Email address. ********@*********.***

My name is Lisa Kraft and I have been a registered pharmacist since 1985. I have known Bob (Robert) Koch since 2002, when I started working at Group Health Cooperative (GHC) pharmacy. Both Bob and I worked alongside each other in the GHC Float Pool Pharmacist Team. Eventually, I took positions in other pharmacist roles where Bob would be assigned in his “Float Pool Pharmacist” capacity. Bob was a great pharmacist to work with. He stayed focused on his duties (checking/entering prescriptions, counseling patients, providing information to other health care providers, filling prescriptions, inventory duties, etc.) and always came to work on time and ready to get the job done. Besides being a good pharmacist, his ability to provide a bit of levity in the unrelenting strain of a busy pharmacy was appreciated by all and his humor often times softened the harsh reality of our difficult and complex pharmacy world. I highly recommend Bob Koch as a pharmacist. He is honest, hardworking and easy to work with. Please feel free to contact me by phone at 206-***-**** if you would like any further information.
