Today we celebrate National Pharmacist Day along with the member pharmacies that we support. Did you know that the first American community pharmacy was opened in the early 1800s? Pharmacists have been working hard to keep our population healthy for more than 200 years!

We want to take a minute to recognize two of our independent pharmacy members who are working hard to carry on this tradition. Lindsey Lynam and Breanne Scribner at Harbor Pharmacy – Thank you for all that you do!
