 October is American Pharmacists Month
From the American Pharmacists Association - American Pharmacists Month is a time to recognize pharmacists’ contributions to health care and all they can do for their communities. Pharmacists are important members of your health care team. But do you know how much a pharmacist can really do for you?
In addition to safely providing medicine, pharmacists offer lots of different services as part of their commitment to helping patients live healthier lives.
Plus, pharmacists are easy to reach: 90% of Americans live within two miles of a community pharmacy.
Learn more about how pharmacists can help you every day. Then, visit your local pharmacy to talk to your pharmacist. A short conversation can make a big difference!
