Women who make a difference in the industry honored on #WomenPharmacistDay.
Pharmacist Moms Group, founded in 2017 to help advance the profession of pharmacy, advocate for women in pharmacy and provide a network for pharmacist moms, today announced the winners of the 2022 Woman Pharmacist of the Year awards. Pharmacist Moms Group was proud to celebrate Women Pharmacist Day on October 12 by honoring the women who have made a significant impact on the pharmacy industry.
"Pharmacists serve as a lifeline for many people in accessing the health care they need and can afford. Whether it’s helping to navigate overwhelming OTC choices, making sense of confusing directions or dosage information or administering critical vaccines, pharmacists are frequently the go-to providers millions rely upon," said Suzanne Soliman, Pharm.D., BCMAS, founder of Pharmacist Moms Group. “Comprising 75% of the pharmacist workforce in the U.S., women are on the frontlines as trusted health care resources even as they care for their own families. On this day and every day, we join Pharmacy Times® in expressing our gratitude to all women pharmacists for the vital work they do.”
