Honor pharmacists
Editor, The Commercial:
October is American Pharmacists Month, and this is the perfect time to spotlight pharmacists’ vital role in the health and well-being of communities like ours.
This year’s theme, Caring for Our Communities, reflects the unwavering dedication of over 700,000 pharmacy professionals and student pharmacists serving patients nationwide.
Independent reporting for Pine Bluff & Jefferson County since 1879.
As local pharmacists who are passionate about patient care, we are proud to serve as trusted healthcare providers for our neighbors. Many rely on us for much more than filling prescriptions.
We are meeting our patients’ long-term needs by managing chronic conditions such as diabetes and immediate needs such as testing and treating the flu. Pharmacists are the most accessible healthcare providers for all, even our most underserved populations.
The future of Arkansas’ pharmacy care is built through training a network of professionals who are committed to improving healthcare access across the state.
As proud pharmacy graduates from Harding University, we know the tremendous role these institutions play in educating the next generation of pharmacists. Pharmacy school is a life-changing endeavor that can change the trajectory of the future pharmacist and their entire family for generations to come.
Join us in showing your support for your local pharmacy professionals. Together, we strengthen the health of our communities.
