Today we celebrate the heart of community care: YOU. 💊❤️

National Pharmacist Day honors the professionals who do far more than dispense medication.

Pharmacists educate, advocate, problem-solve, and provide calm reassurance when patients need it most.

In independent and community pharmacy, that care is personal. Relationships matter. Trust is built visit by visit, conversation by conversation.

Today, we want to pause and take a moment to recognize the impact you, our member pharmacists - and pharmacists from coast-to-coast, have on strengthening their communities

Winter weather is tough on skin - independent pharmacies make it manageable ❄️🧴

Cold temperatures, dry indoor heat, and frequent handwashing can quickly lead to dry, cracked, and irritated skin. Winter skin issues are one of the most common concerns patients bring to their local pharmacy this time of year.

Independent and community pharmacists are perfectly positioned to recommend gentle cleansers, barrier creams, fragrance-free moisturizers, and offer advice on when it’s time to escalate care or refer out.

Supporting patients through everyday discomfort builds trust and keeps care accessible close to home.

👉 Contact AAPARx to learn how we support pharmacies in delivering seasonal, patient-focused care.

We had the pleasure of meeting with Tarek Haddo, PharmD, owner of Farmington Hills Pharmacy in Farmington Hills, Michigan, alongside our partners Independent Pharmacy Cooperative (IPC) and Michigan Pharmacists Association.

Farmington Hills Pharmacy is what it is today because Tarek has built a truly patient-centered, clinical-focused program — not just filling prescriptions, but providing comprehensive medication reviews, personalized consults, and vaccines that make a real impact.

Tarek and his team go far beyond the counter every day to care for their patients and serve their community and we’re proud to call Farmington Hills an AAPA Member Pharmacy.💙
