CARRBORO, NC -- Mayor Barbara Foushee proclaims October 2025 as American Pharmacists Month in Carrboro.
Pharmacists and student pharmacists from the University of North Carolina Eshelman School of Pharmacy actively serve the Carrboro community through outreach events, including providing free blood pressure and blood glucose screenings at the Carrboro Farmers Market multiple times each year.
During these events, pharmacists and student pharmacists counsel patients on how to interpret their readings and empower them with practical strategies to improve their health, including non-pharmacologic approaches such as diet, exercise and lifestyle modifications.
These services make preventive health care more accessible to Carrboro residents, while strengthening awareness of medication use, chronic disease management, and wellness
Pharmacists’ expertise in medication therapy management, combined with their accessibility in the community, positions them as key partners in improving health outcomes and reducing healthcare costs.
Carrboro residents are encouraged to recognize and celebrate the valuable contributions of pharmacists and student pharmacists in our community.
