Weekly Pharmacy Fact: First College of Pharmacy in US
The first college of pharmacy in the United States was founded in 1821 as the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy and was the first institution in the United States dedicated solely to pharmaceutical education. It was established by a group of apothecaries who wanted to improve standards in the profession and ensure proper training for those preparing and dispensing medications.
This groundbreaking college laid the foundation for modern pharmacy education, emphasizing scientific rigor, ethical practice, and public health. It later became part of the University of the Sciences, which merged with Saint Joseph’s University in 2022.

One Simple Way To Be Happier, Be Healthier, Live Longer! Did you know that staying socially connected protects your brain and makes you happier and healthier? The Harvard Adult Development Study, which has been tracking happiness and health for more than 100 years, found that people who express gratitude and stay in touch with friends and family tend to live longer and have better health. When you focus on what you have and remember the good things in your life, you’re more likely to strengthen your relationships, which is the most important thing that can make you happy. Regular conversations, sharing meals or phone calls, all keep your mind sharp and your mood lifted. So make it a priority to communicate regularly with people you love and see what a difference it can make in your life!

National Chocolate Day, on October 28th, recognizes one of the world's favorite tastes. While many specific chocolate-related holidays exist throughout the year, National Chocolate Day celebrates all things chocolate.
Health Facts About Chocolate
o Dark chocolate (70%+ cacao) is rich in antioxidants like flavonoids, which may support heart health.
o It can boost mood by increasing serotonin and endorphin levels.
o Moderation is key – chocolate still contains sugar and fat, so enjoy it mindfully.

Beware the haunted medicine cabinet: Tips for Cleaning out Expired Meds Safely.
Check Expiration Dates
o Medications lose potency over time and may even become unsafe.
o Look for discoloration, changes in smell, or crumbling tablets.
Don’t Flush or Toss in Trash
o Flushing can contaminate water systems.
o Throwing meds in the trash risks accidental exposure to children or pets.
Use Drug Take-Back Programs
o Safest option! Many pharmacies and law enforcement agencies offer secure drop-off locations.
o The DEA hosts National Prescription Drug Take Back Day twice a year.
If No Take-Back Is Available
o Mix meds (not in original container) with unappealing substances like coffee grounds or cat litter.
o Seal in a plastic bag and throw in household trash.
Remove Personal Info
o Scratch out names and prescription numbers before disposal to protect your privacy.

Hand Sanitizer vs. Soap: Which is better for preventing seasonal bugs?
When it comes to preventing seasonal illnesses like colds, flu, and stomach viruses, soap and water are the clear winners.
Why Soap Is Better:
o Soap physically removes germs from your skin by breaking down the sticky bonds that hold them in place. This means viruses and bacteria slide off your hands entirely.
o Hand sanitizer kills many germs, but it doesn’t remove dirt, grease, or certain pathogens like norovirus and Clostridium difficile.
o Cold-weather illnesses often spread via surface contact, and thorough handwashing is more effective at stopping transmission.
When to Use Hand Sanitizer:
o Use it only when soap and water aren’t available.
o Make sure it contains at least 60% alcohol for it to be effective.

Weekly Pharmacy Fact: Agatha Christie was a Pharmacy Technician
Agatha Christie, often called the “Queen of Crime,” is one of the best-selling authors of all time. Born in 1890 in England, she wrote 66 detective novels and 14 short story collections, creating iconic characters like Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple.
During World War I and II, Christie served as a volunteer nurse and later worked in a hospital dispensary, where she gained hands-on knowledge of medicines and poisons. This experience deeply influenced her writing—many of her plots hinge on clever uses of toxic substances and medical details. Her real-life expertise made her fictional crimes chillingly believable.
