American Pharmacists Association

Today, we join the International Pharmaceutical Federation (FIP) in celebrating World Pharmacists Day and recognizing the impact pharmacists make in communities around the globe.

This year’s theme, “Empowering pharmacists for healthier futures,” highlights a simple truth: when pharmacists are empowered to practice at the top of their expertise, patients and communities benefit.

As we celebrate today, we’re also looking ahead to American Pharmacists Month beginning October 1, when we’ll recognize the pharmacy professionals improving health and advancing patient care every day.
