Today, we’re thanking Jessica Tackett, PharmD, BCPS, and Brittany Bissell, PharmD, PhD, BCCCP, both of whom work in the University of Kentucky (UK) HealthCare system.

Tackett is a clinical pharmacist who has been fit-testing N95 masks for the many pharmacists who work at UK HealthCare Good Samaritan Hospital, in addition to taking care of the daily work of pharmacists and caring for her 2 kids at home.

Bissell is a critical care pharmacist who has been gathering evidence-based resources and distributing the information to the group, ensuring that everyone is up-to-date on the latest news regarding the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic.

Pharmacy Times wants to celebrate the amazing pharmacy staff members who are on the front lines every day. Nominate someone in your pharmacy by emailing AAntrim@pharmacytimes.com with their name, position, and why they’re a hero!
