Glenn has been an inspiration to so many pharmacists in this province.
We cannot imagine the pain his family has had to endure in losing him and we send them our deepest condolences.
He was a instructor and mentor to our own pharmacists and a genuinely wonderful human being.
A donation has been made in his memory and we will continue to remember him day to day as the practice of pharmacy changes and expands in Nova Scotia.
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.
