The Great American Smokeout is today - Thursday, November 20 đźš­
Pharmacy professionals are in a powerful position to support patients who smoke or vape—especially on days like this. Take a moment to ask about to***co use, start a brief quit conversation, and connect patients with evidence-based resources and cessation support.

Even one day without smoking can be the first step toward lower cancer, heart disease, and stroke risk.

đź’š Member Monday đź’š
PSW CEO, Sarah Sorum, visited Lodi Hometown Pharmacy and was reminded what community pharmacy means in rural Wisconsin. Pharmacy Manager, Donna Milne, has shepherded her staff through three pharmacy moves, lives just down the road from her business, and finds joy in caring for her neighbors. The team includes a pair of siblings and longtime staff who have worked side by side for years, reflecting deep commitment and community.

PSW members like Lodi Hometown Pharmacy are more than places to pick up prescriptions - they are trusted access points that keep Wisconsinites healthy.
