October is American Pharmacists Month!
“Know your pharmacist, know your medicine.”
This month we encourage you to get to know your own pharmacist, and encourage your patients to do the same. Stay tuned throughout October for our informational emails as well as fun contests.
Also, October 18th is National Pharmacy Technician Day!
This week we challenge you to make your own Emergency Medical ID card for your wallet, which should include your personal information, emergency contacts, health conditions, allergies, and medications. If you already have a medical ID card, update yours or make one for your spouse or children for this challenge.
- If you would like to use a free website to help you make a card, please use THIS LINK.
- If you would like to make your own card to save and update, a word document with a template is included as an attachment to this email.
Every person who makes an Emergency Medical ID card should send an email to our resident pharmacist Tina Larsen at clarsen@welia.org so that you can be entered into a drawing for some fun prizes. Complete this challenge before Monday October 10th to be entered.
Thank you for your continued support,
FirstLight Health System Pharmacy Department
