Please join VSHP as we celebrate National Pharmacist Day!
While we know, and are continually reminded each day, that it takes a team for pharmacy services to function, for today VSHP would like to recognize the pharmacist’s contribution. Health-system pharmacists’ daily commitment to patient care and advancement of pharmacy practices have set the foundation of pharmacy in our country and the world.
The origin of this less-recognized pharmacy observance is unknown, according the National Day Calendar crew:

In honor of the day, the U.S. Census department has picked up on the changes to pharmacy practice over the years:
