Myth: The damage from smoking is already done and it's too late to quit.

Reality: The body starts to heal the moment you stop smoking. Within a year, your risk of heart attack drops by half, and after five years, your risk of stroke is the same as a non-smoker's. Quitting at any age significantly reduces the risk of serious diseases.

The pharmacy community in Nova Scotia has lost a bright light in the tragic passing of Glenn Rodrigues on December 27, 2025.

Glenn, a pharmacist, graduated from the Dalhousie's College of Pharmacy in 1999. In 2018, Glenn joined the PANS team as Coordinator and Practice Facilitator for Prescription to Thrive, where he supported pharmacy teams in improving workflows and implementing services. This work led to the creation of the Thrive Manager Support Program, allowing Glenn to further inspire pharmacy leaders through his positivity and passion for change.

Glenn’s impact on pharmacy in Nova Scotia is profound and will be felt for years to come. He was deeply passionate about advancing pharmacy practice, supporting pharmacy professionals, and improving patient care.

Creating positive, supportive team cultures was always a top priority for Glenn. At PANS and beyond, he consistently recognized the strengths of others and made people feel valued. Glenn will continue to be remembered for his humour, enthusiasm, and unwavering drive to make things better.

Glenn's obituary can be found here: https://www.arbormemorial.ca/en/atlantic-dartmouth/obituaries/glenn-dwayne-rodrigues/153340.html

Details on honouring Glenn's life and legacy will be shared on the PANS website as they are finalized.
