The first celebration of “National Pharmaceutical Week” was held October 11-17, 1925.  During this inaugural effort, radio stations across the country broadcast special programs, which emphasized the professional side of pharmacy.  In 2004, American Pharmacists Month was launched to allow more time to promote the expanding role of the pharmacist.

Pharmacists do more than just fill your prescriptions; they care about your well-being and consider it their job to help you and your families stay healthy.  Panora Medicap Pharmacist Trish Randel says “if you have questions about your medicines, we’re here to explain the risks and benefits.  We also offer counseling on all sorts of subjects and have information available.  Don’t forget to ask about money-saving generic brands.  We’re here for you!”
