American Pharmacists Month is celebrated annually in October and serves to promote pharmacists as medication experts, an integral member of the health care team, and directly involved in patient care. APhM aims to educate the public, policy makers and other health care professionals about the role pharmacists play in the reduction of overall health care costs and the safe and effective management of medications. Pharmacists have a significant role in assessing patients’ medication management in patients and referring them to physicians. Let PPA know how you’re celebrating American Pharmacists Month at ppa@papharmacists.com! 6 • Pennsylvania Pharmacist • September/October 2016
