March marks Pharmacy Appreciation Month and the College would like to thank all pharmacy professionals for their dedication to improving the health of patients and their ongoing commitment to providing them with safe, effective, and high quality care. Pharmacy professionals across the province have stepped up over the past year to serve their communities during a truly unprecedented and challenging time, and the College is grateful for their contributions to the health and wellbeing of our communities.
The College would also like to thank pharmacy professionals who have been active with the College by participating in focus groups or advisory groups, contributing feedback to an open consultation, participating in a survey, serving on the Board or a Committee, and by engaging the College on various matters and initiatives aimed at promoting quality pharmacy care for all Ontarians. We appreciate this important and meaningful engagement and ongoing support, which is key to helping the College fulfill its mandate to serve and protect the public.
