Celebrating American Pharmacists Month: A Tribute to Healthcare Heroes

American Pharmacists Month, also known as National Pharmacist Month, is a time to honor the invaluable contributions of pharmacists across the United States. Founded in 2004, this annual celebration recognizes the dedication and hard work of these healthcare professionals who play a vital role in safeguarding the health and well-being of countless communities across the country.

Caring For Our Communities

For the 20th anniversary of American Pharmacists Month, the American Pharmacists Association has selected “Caring for Our Communities” as the theme. APhA created a video for the event that highlights the pharmacy team at Osterhaus Pharmacy in Maquoketa, Iowa.

“The pharmacist is that last safety measure before a medicine gets into a patient’s hands,” says pharmacist Jessie Schaefer in the video. “We’re the most accessible healthcare provider, and that allows us to answer a lot of questions.”

Why You Should Celebrate & Support Pharmacists

From dispensing medications to providing essential clinical services, pharmacists are at the forefront of patient care. Their expertise, compassion, and commitment to excellence are inspiring. And their contributions extend far beyond simply filling prescriptions. In addition to the clinical services available at thousands of pharmacies nationwide, pharmacists are also often the first point of contact for patients seeking healthcare advice, and they play a critical role in ensuring medication safety and efficacy.

Here are a few quick pharmacy stats:

  • 700,000 pharmacy professions in the United States
  • 500,000 immunization-trained pharmacy professionals (pharmacists, student pharmacists, and pharmacy technicians) in the United States
  • 90% of the U.S. population lives within 5 miles of a pharmacy
  • 74% of vaccinations during flu season took place at pharmacies
