Reflecting on 2023 American Pharmacists Month
October has been a busy month with a range of awareness campaigns including Breast Cancer Awareness Month (BCAM), National Pet Wellness Month and National Disability Employment Awareness Month (NDEAM). Most importantly, October shined a light on independent community pharmacies with American Pharmacists Month.
Eden Drug receives state proclamation from North Carolina
On October 10, 2023, Eden Drug owner Pete Crouch, RPh, and his wife Debbie received official recognition from the state of North Carolina for their dedication to their community and for winning the 2023 Health Mart Pharmacy of the Year award.
Bringing awareness to “unique-ability” employment in the pharmacy
At McKesson ideaShare in 2023, attendees had the chance to catch a CE hosted by Ashley Walker, PharmD, who served as a pharmacist for seven years and recently transitioned into full time entrepreneurship with her company Med Max Consulting, LLC, advocating for disability in the workplace.
Pharmacy technicians working to the top of their license
What technicians may do varies by state and qualifications—and vary by pharmacy. But what is universal is that technicians do much more than just entering data, putting pills in a bottle, verifying medications and acting as cashiers. Investing in a technician’s career can make a huge difference for your pharmacy and your community.
Virginia Keller, RPh: A lifetime of achievement
At the opening general session during McKesson ideaShare 2023, Health Mart awarded Virginia Keller, RPh, with the Health Mart Lifetime Achievement Award for her 50 years of serving her community of Ponca, Nebraska. Her story is rich with many ups and downs with threads of family and community running through it.
Celebrating Women in Pharmacy Oct. 12
Women Pharmacist Day was established several years ago by the Pharmacists Moms Facebook group. The day helps bring awareness to the growing influence women have in the pharmacy industry. According to the #WomenPharmacistDay website, Oct. 12 was chosen because October is American Pharmacists Month and the first recognized U.S. female pharmacist, Elizabeth Gooking Greenleaf was the mother of 12 children.
Raise the level of your pharmacy technicians
In summer 2021, seven staff members left Hesston Pharmacy and Harvey Drug for various reasons, ranging from college graduations to caring for family.
