Pharmacist Moms Group Celebrates #WomenPharmacistDay

CRANBURY, N.J., Oct. 14, 2021 -- Pharmacist Moms Group, was founded in 2017 by Suzanne Soliman, Pharm.D., BCMAS, to help advance the profession of pharmacy, advocate for women in pharmacy and provide a network for pharmacist moms. Pharmacist Moms Group was proud to celebrate Women Pharmacist Day, on Oct. 12, by honoring women who have made a significant impact on the pharmacy industry.

"Over the past 18 months, health care providers, including pharmacists have had to put their lives on the line to treat patients. COVID-19 has created a new set of realities that none of us could have imagined and with the new variants pharmacists continue to help save lives by immunizing the entire country. Over half of pharmacists in the U.S. are women who have today, more than ever, had to juggle work and home life responsibilities. We are happy to partner with Pharmacy Times® on this important day," said  Soliman.
