CARRBORO, NC -- Mayor Barbara Foushee proclaims October 2024 as American Pharmacists Month in Carrboro.
There are over 10,000 pharmacists licensed in North Carolina and 300,000 pharmacists in the United States providing services to assure the rational and safe use of all medications.
Pharmacists provide both expertise and accessibility which are crucial to patients fully optimizing access to medications. They also provide patient care that ensures optimal medication therapy outcomes.
The American Pharmacists Association and the Carolina Association of Pharmacy Students at the University of North Carolina Eshelman School of Pharmacy have declared October as American Pharmacists Month.
As Carrboro joins them in this celebration, residents are encouraged to participate in American Pharmacists Month by visiting one of our local pharmacies and, if needed, engaging with one of our many highly qualified pharmacists.
