It is Pharmacy Appreciation Month and we are thrilled to share this article from the UAlberta Faculty of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences! With a team of U of A grads at the helm, ARTARx continues to grow and respond to the diverse needs of our members, with care, compassion, and dedication!

A Master Class in Care

When Alberta’s retired teachers asked for a better way to manage their health, U of A grads helped build a pharmacy that does its homework

From bespoke consultations to navigating complex insurance coverage, alumni Yatin Patel, ’04 BScPharm, and Darren Tardif, ’13 BScPharm, are proving that when you prioritize both patient education and staff well-being, everyone wins.
