Pharmacists for Healthier Lives is a national awareness initiative aimed at highlighting the important role pharmacists play in helping people live their healthiest lives. Pharmacists do more than you might think. In addition to being at your community pharmacy, we’re on the frontlines of every aspect of healthcare — helping to ensure better outcomes for you and your family.
Your Closest Doctor is Usually a Pharmacist.
Pharmacists are friendly, accessible and knowledgable with great bed-side and counter-side manners. In fact, Doctors of Pharmacy are among the most highly educated healthcare professionals.
Ensuring Healthier Outcomes in Diverse Healthcare Settings.
While most people are familiar with a pharmacist through interactions at their local pharmacy, pharmacists practice in many other healthcare settings as well, such as hospitals, research labs, and critical care units.
Pharmacists can also be certified in 14 healthcare specialties, including geriatrics, cardiology, and oncology. In these roles, pharmacists serve as the medication experts on healthcare teams and play an active role in patient care.
