March 25, 2025

Demonstrating outstanding sales and growth within Rx relief, a pharmacy staffing firm, Executive Vice President Angela Chandna Pootrakul was recently awarded the President’s Circle (Eagle) distinction and a Circle of Excellence Award, recognizing her 2024 successes during a year of strategic adaptation.

The Presidentā€™s Circle (Eagle) distinction is the highest-level recognition to be awarded within The PrideStaff Companies, and Pootrakul is the first to achieve this honor. The Circle of Excellence awards are presented annually to the overall top producer in each PrideStaff niche division for the previous fiscal year.

Pootrakul and her entire Rx relief Southern California team were recognized at PrideStaff’s Annual Conference, an in-person event held in Anaheim, CA. Featuring luminary keynote speakers, panel discussions, breakout sessions, and networking opportunities, the conference connected professionals from across the country to gain knowledge from industry experts and each other, acquire new perspectives and best practices, and improve their proficiency at owning and operating a full-service staffing firm.

When asked about these remarkable achievements, Pootkrakul, Executive Vice President of the Rx relief Southern California division, quickly recognized her team’s collective effort. “I am so honored to accept these awards on behalf of my incredible team. These recognitions reflect their hard work, dedication, and resilienceā€”qualities they bring to the table every day,” said Pootkraul. “In a year filled with change, our team remained focused on building strong partnerships and creating adaptable solutions to support our clients’ quickly evolving needs. We’re excited to reach even greater heights in 2025, with our sights set on another year in the President’s Circle and the Circle of Excellence.”

“We are thrilled to recognize Pootkrakul and the entire Rx relief Southern California team for exceeding their growth and profitability goals over the past year,” said PrideStaff Co-CEO Mike Aprile. “In an industry where staffing for critical pharmacist and pharmacy technician roles in major hospitals and health systems can directly influence patient care, Angela advocates for an approach that goes far beyond the numbers. Her team’s goals are not measured solely by KPIs but by the quality of care delivered and the meaningful careers built through their guidance.”
