Governor Pritzker has proclaimed October as American Pharmacists Month in Illinois — recognizing the vital role pharmacists play in protecting public health, improving medication safety, and expanding access to care across every community in our state.

From rural towns to city neighborhoods, Illinois pharmacists stand on the frontlines of patient care — providing trusted advice, delivering critical vaccinations, managing chronic conditions, and ensuring every patient gets the care they deserve.

The Illinois Pharmacists Association (IPhA) thanks Governor Pritzker for honoring the work and dedication of our state’s pharmacists and pharmacy teams. 💊💪

Let’s celebrate all who make a difference behind the counter, in clinics, long-term care facilities, and health systems every single day.
