Time to Celebrate for Pharmacy!
October is National Pharmacy Month

Feature Article

by Scott A. Meyers, Executive Vice President

With the changes coming with the “New” KeePosted and with summer flying by this year, we wanted to give you a head start in planning this year’s celebration.  October brings us National Pharmacy Month, Health-System Pharmacy Week (Oct. 21-27), and National Pharmacy Technician Day (Tuesday, Oct. 23).  Lots of reasons to celebrate!

First, how should a Pharmacy Department celebrate?  Well, absolutely with cake and ice cream but also with information cards on the cafeteria tables, a poster session in a conference room, staff recognition awards, and a lot more.  As a matter of fact, there is no right way to celebrate as long as you celebrate!  Letting this opportunity slip away without any fanfare is a missed opportunity to share what you and your pharmacy colleagues do for your patients and your institution.

So do something original, do something fun, do something scientific or all of the above but do something and send us your pictures with a very brief description (we don’t want the writing component to be a barrier for you to share your celebration!) and we’ll highlight your facility on Facebook and maybe even our Website.  Let’s see who knows how to party.  Celebrate for Pharmacy!
