›› Dedication: Pharmacy’s classic space on the National Mall
Pharmacy’s enlarged footprint on the National Mall in Washington, DC—also known as the APhA building—was dedicated on Friday November 13th when some 400 people associated with the profession gathered at 2215 Constitution Avenue. Recalling the purpose of pharmacy—to bring hope, help, and health to people—speakers and attendees marked the occasion with enthusiasm that seemed to draw from the wind and rain that swirled during an hour-long ceremony on the steps of the historic APhA building.
